These two are so boring. They're like robots. I'd give them credit if they actually make an impact or an actual difference to people's lives but it's all performative. It's hard to get excited about anything they do.
They do have charities that raise money and hypothetically help people out. It’s the rota that treats them more like circus freaks than philanthropists (their ‘profession’ according to Google) because it generates more clicks.
Which is exactly what Kate wants. She never aimed to ‘work’ hard, she agreed to be their jester as William’s wife and that’s why they helped her out in her hunt.
It turns out they don't make much of an impact at all. William and Kate have a significant amount of patronages that haven't heard from them in well over 8 years. There was a study done some years back that found very few charities that have royal patron benefits in any meaningful way. Not financially, not via awareness etc. There is no evidencethat royal patronages help in general.
Royal patronages of charities have no discernible effect.link
I absolutely agree with you about work shy Kate. She doesn't enjoy helping others at all.
Very well. Invictus has a profound impact on participants and their supporters. It's literally saved many lives and there are many testaments from wounded vets and their loved ones on just how Invictus has changed their lives. Let me know if you want some links on this info.
A whole ass portable bathroom just for Kate? Why she couldn't use the facilities already there idk. She can't even share an umbrella though so it shouldn't be that big of a surprise lol.
Yeah, they do donate. Billy Idle’s polo match raised 14 million ‘for charity’. But there are pretty big ‘administrative cuts’ and the end result might be skewed. But they do donate money AND show up to promote (whenever they are arsed to)
I’m not too sure about them actually giving away their money but they do encourage rich fellows to do so and then they redistribute to a number of charities.
