Prince William considers Kate’s mother as his own after Diana
Prince William and Kate Middleton seem determined to help local communities in ways that are different from how royals usually do things.
The well-liked royal couple came up with a new way to make a difference in the places they visit by combining cutting the ribbon with making money for people who need it.
The Prince and Princess of Wales tried out the new model, which is called a “community impact day,” on Thursday in North Yorkshire.
During their visit, the parents of three announced that £345,000 had been raised through a partnership between their Royal Foundation and the Two Ridings Community Foundation.
The money, which was given by local people and groups, will be used to boost long-term support for the mental health of young people in the town. It will be given to the places that need it most, as decided by a grant panel.
Royal fans like what Kate Middleton and Prince William are doing. One of them tweeted: “They raised £20 million and are giving that money away to worthy causes.”
Second wrote: “Good on them! But the idea of the traditional royal engagement model of just cutting ribbons is way outdated.
Amanda Berry, CEO of the Royal Foundation, said, “The Royal Foundation is therefore thrilled that by working with the Two Ridings Community Foundation, we have played a key role in galvanising funding to support the organisations doing this important work in the community, which will have a long-lasting effect on young people in Scarborough.”
Jan Garrill, CEO of the Two Ridings Community Foundation, also said, “These funds are just the start, and we hope others show the same leadership and compassion and invest in this work.”
