It was quite clear in their annual report where that money went. I don?t know why republic complained.

[wannable]

I'm not sure to be honest, the Republican claim is that W' Royal Foundation GBP 300,000 and H' defunct Sussex Royal (changed to MWX) whatever the remaining half amount from the total amount, because the charities commission already stated that half was used to pay administration and legal fees, whilst also criticising the Sussexes; both transferred funds to Travalyst. 

My confusion (probably the Republicans too???) is what is the standing of Travalyst? BUT, since there is no wrong doing, Travalyst which is not a charity CAN receive funds to do....I don't know.  :laugh:

A staggering 11.68m (pounds sterling) was made by the Cambridge's foundation, almost doubling the 6.68m raised in 2019. The documents, which were made available online earlier today, also show that 2.59m was included in the final total through a donation from American Friends of the Royal Foundation - showing that the Duke and Duchess can still pack a punch in the United States

A very healthy Annual Financial Report

91% of the moneys were used for charity.  That is considered outstanding.

100% dedication now. That's great.

I have to admit that I am amazed to see how the Foundation's donations doubled during one of the worst years in recent history.

GCHQ and publishers Puffin are proud to be teaming up to publish a brand-new puzzle book for kids, Puzzles for Spies, coming in September.

The book includes a foreword by Their Royal Highnesses, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and proceeds from GCHQ's share of the advance and royalties for this book, estimated in the first year to be at least 20,000 pounds, will go to The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (registered charity number: 1132048) to support the organisation's ongoing mental health work. Studies have shown the positive impact puzzle solving and teamwork can have on a person's mental and emotional wellbeing and, in their foreword, Their Royal Highnesses say:

"We are delighted that the brilliant minds at GCHQ have been busy working on a third puzzle book, and that this edition is designed for younger readers' Talking openly about mental health can be the first step in removing stigma, fear and isolation.  Just like at GCHQ, bringing different perspectives together can often be the key to unlocking a solution you can't quite find on your own."

The website has been updated to 'The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales'

The Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to launch a "major new flagship initiative on homelessness" next spring, an issue Prince William has been committed to tackling for years.

Prince William and Kate's Royal Foundation is hiring a Head of Homelessness Programme to lead a project aiming to prove it is possible to deliver "lasting change" to help those without a home.

A small team is already working on the project, but the successful candidate is expected to grow the team and have "excellent political judgement".

If the Govt has been unable (unwilling) to do anything to solve or greatly change the plight of Britain?s homelessness in the years since WW2, I doubt very much that any initiative from KP will do much to solve the problem. Well meaning no doubt, but ineffectual.

Especially at a time of roaring inflation and rapid rent increases. The post War govt began a massive programme to rebuild Britain?s housing crisis after cities and towns were bombed but somehow never caught up. And it?s been that way ever since. It needs billions spent on it, far more billions than any govt will be prepared to shell out on an annual basis and certainly beyond the capacity of KP.

This will be a challenging task but hopefully it will have a positive and lasting impact.

It is a great 'flagship' project.  The UK is one of the 5 countries best examples/progams with homelessness, the common checkmarks Austria Finland England have done is 1. communal housing first, 2 feeding, 3 seeking what the person skills in order to be productive in society.  (William has visited these housing facilities, big kitchen conversion and also met with those involved with The Big Issue)

More than 270,000 people in England were homeless at the last count in December 2021, including 126,000 children, according to street newspaper The Big Issue.

I think William is seeking more housing facilities in order to battle homeless people in the street. 

More than 8,000 people sleep rough on the streets of London each year. They come from every walk of life, and many of them want to find work.

Just a little add in note to compare what William wants to achieve, which is achievable since the stats are 8K in the streets with no roof, California has 116,600 people in the streets, NYC 92K.

Those British figures are extremely under-reported. I know from people back home that I still correspond with who work in social services that people are often transient, in sub-standard accommodation, couch surfing, sharing a room in relatives and/or with friends, moving on, moving on. You don?t have to be literally sleeping in the streets to be homeless. We shall see what the actual results of this project are, in the current economic climate, in another three or four years.
