Prince Harry's charities and patronages

[Sereta]

Enjoyed the videos. The first one is so sweet, and the second one of him dancing is, well, entertaining.
It looks like his trip went well and he was able to raise some money for charities. The picture of him holding the baby is adorable.

Not only did he raise money, according to the article he also made a donation himself.

Considering he is a multi-millionaire in his own right, I would expect him to give regular donations to the charities he supports and to one offs as well.

Otherwise it would be the height of hypocrisy to expect people a lot worse off than him to donate if he didn't.

I always get a laugh when rich people making donations gets a comment like 'good for him/her' as they can obviously afford it far more easily then the 10s of millions who also donate but who earn a lot less.

I was in China shortly after the tsunami in 2004 and the amounts that Chinese people were donating was staggering - to us very small amounts - but some of them were giving 80% or more of their week's pay.

"Prince Harry has launched the first unaided trek to the North Pole
for disabled servicemen and said he would like to take part in the
challenge.
The royal, who is patron of the Walking with the Wounded charity
organising the four-week trek, launched the event at The Rifles
Club in west London" on March 19, 2010.

Here's the full article from bbc news including a video:

It would be good to see Harry on the 4 week trek, if he can have time off from his Army commitments

Let's get the flag on the North Pole, before my brother lands an helicopter there.

That's one thing that I enjoy about the Wales brothers: the teasing directed at each other during their speeches.

I love how age doesn't affect his comments, I agree with Mermaid1962.

Prince Harry has given his support to Pennies: The Electronic Charity Box.

"Pennies' idea of using your card to pay into an electronic charity box is simple but brilliant. It makes giving a few pence to charity, including smaller charities which often miss out, so easy."

Additionally, an announcement was made by the Clarence House Twitter account and promptly retweeted by @pennies_ebox. Looks like one of the charities that Pennies supports is the Prince's Trust.

Looks like Harry's charity has been the victim of some scam merchant.

These sorts of people should be locked up for life and denied any access to computers or other electronic gizmos not only for the thefts but for the impact of the thefts - of both money and identity.

But it also highlights the dangers of high profile people using their official signatures on any public document.

It is actually features some excerpts of an interview that Harry gave to Bild in honor of his upcoming award.

It is admittedly not much about his charity work which is quite disappointing as he is quite accomplished in this area and deserves some credit for what he has achieved. Hopefully tomorrow there will be better interviews and lots of pictures. With hopefully no more mentions of William and Kate as Harry deserves some attention. Besides his comments about Kate were reported when the engagement was announced.
