Buckingham Palace has announced the decisions made by King Charles
The King’s long-standing charities have been rebranded in recognition of his accession to the throne, Buckingham Palace has announced. As the Prince of Wales, Charles set up the youth charity the Prince’s Trust; the Prince’s Foundation, which promotes the built environment, heritage, culture and education projects; and the grant-giving Prince of Wales’s Charitable Fund .
Speaking to journalists on the last day of his visit to Singapore for the Earthshot Prize awards, William praised the royal family ’s work “spotlighting” causes, but said he wanted to do more than just be a patron. Harry, amid continued fractures in family relations after his Netflix documentary and autobiography Spare, is living thousands of miles away in the US having quit as a working royal.
“The evolution of our name enables us to retain proximity to our founder, His Majesty The King, reflecting his continued dedication to our work since 1976. As we work towards this change over the coming months, we will continue to support young people and communities who face disadvantage and adversity to access employment, education and training, in the UK and around the world.”
The foundation, run from Dumfries House in Ayrshire and which promotes the built environment, heritage, culture and education projects, was formed as part of a reorganisation of 21 of Charles’s charities in the year he turned 70. Its recent initiatives have included a Winter Warmers drive with free hot drinks and soup and craft activities at Charles’s country estate Highgrove to help combat loneliness and the cost-of-living crisis.
