Yes, well done to Harry. This is good news. Military personnel and their welfare have always been close to his heart, and hopefully HeadFit will really be a help.
 
While this coaching session took place in late March, hopefully the young woman was able to still interview for a position and was hired. ?

So which Royal Foundation are they no longer with? Does mean no Henry involvement in the future?

The Royal Foundation that was kept by the duke and duchess of Cambridge and that the duke and duchess of Sussex decided to leave.

So, them announcing "After 8 successful, impactful years as a Royal Foundation programme, we now seek additional support establishing the charity in its own right" most likely means that Harry will be able to remain involved as they break with William and Catherine's Foundation.

It feels a bit as if programmes have to decide who they want to support (and vice versa: whom they want to be supported by): William or Harry.

They are setting up on their own. They wont need the support. Maybe that is the aim of the royal foundation to enable charities to grow.

Thank you. This is what got me confused as Henry hasn’t been a part of the foundation for some time, linking this charity to both the Cambridge Foundation and Henry made little sense.

But the charity have literally said in their tweet, they need additional support in setting up on their own.

Yeah. All charities need continued financial aid.

That's such a cool idea! The team working with Invictus Games is really, really good and this is another example of that. I can't wait to see all the content they're going to provide.

Though, tbh, it's a shame they didn't post it yesterday, it would be a good opportunity to also talk about VE Day a bit more, but I'm still happy to see him!

THough in Los Angeles Meghan has continued to help her animal charity Mayhew, it's been revealed. Due to the Covid 19 the charity may be forced to close it's doors within months (few donations lately.)

They made it clear the day they left they planned to continue with their charities.

Unfortunately Mayhew is facing the same problem a lot of smaller charities will during this crisis. People are out of work and struggling to make ends meet. That means less money to donate to charity no matter how good a cause. Animal charities also rely heavily on volunteers to help with the animals. And right now they aren't able to have those volunteers work.



That's sad. Who could be against an animal charity?

Its not a matter of being against animal charity. Its a matter of lack of extra income right now to donate to charity.

As there are no links in your comment, here’s the tweets.

“Young people are vital voices in the fight against injustice and racism around the world. As a global community of young leaders we stand together in pursuit of fairness and a better way forward.

Silence is not an option.

We all have the power to effect positive change.

It is time to speak up and speak out. Time to have uncomfortable conversations with ourselves and with others. Time to educate ourselves and unlearn.

Time to come together and build a better future as one.”
 
Who controls their twitter account? Is this really comment by The Queen & the duke & duchess? I presume not.

Why did the Queen allow the Sussex to keep their position in the Queens CommonWealth Trust? isn't that part of the royal work that the queen assumed they would do and thats the reason why she gave it to them. Since they are no longer working royals she should have made them step down from it.

I would be shocked the statement had anything to do with the Royals. The situation is extremely politically charged and I’m sure the BRF wants to keep out of it

I'd guess the employees of The Queen's Commonwealth Trust are posting on this account. There is no indication either the Queen or the Sussexes had anything to do with the tweets, it was something added by the poster. On Twitter looks like that:

Tbh, it doesn't make sense to me either, but I'm guessing the Queen had her reasons, whatever they might be.

i cant think of any good reason why she would let them stay on. i guess we can put this in the category of the queen making decisions based on emotion instead of her brain. not a good look.

You can put it in that category, but I doubt that many others would.
 
Harry has now merged two organisations linked with his longterm interest in veterans mental and physical health, the Endeavour Fund and Invictus Games Foundation, away from the Royal Foundation which was originally begun by him and his brother. Hoping to hear more about this in the future.

Sentebale charity funds rose by £4 million pounds in 2019.
