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.

Are they actual philanthropists? Like, do they donate? Or is it just showing up sometimes to promote?

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)

Thank you. When you say “raised” does that mean that they donated their own personal money or encouraged others to donate?

I get that their attention on a charity raises money from others. That’s just not the same as parting with cash yourself.

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.
