With all of the pomp and circumstance surrounding the upcoming Royal Wedding, it's nice to see the bride and groom ensuring that others will benefit from their popularity and influence. We seem to be seeing much more of this from celebrities and people in power in recent years. Prince William and Kate Middleton have chosen a wide array of charitable organizations that are included in a fund set up by William and brother Harry. Well-wishers have been asked to contribute to the fund as opposed to sending gifts to the couple.
Obviously, Prince William and Kate Middleton have the luxury of not having material wants, given their financial resources. But it's still nice to see fairly young people who have an awareness of the global needs that exist. The pair seem to have taken some time in deciding which charitable causes to support through the fund related to their wedding.
A spokesman for the fund explained some of the thought process that went into the selections. "The couple have chosen to take the chance to benefit some causes that have less exposure or which are undertaking valuable work in areas of the community which the couple feel would benefit from this support."
