HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall hosted a dinner for twelve of The Prince’s Charities and two of the Duchess of Cornwall’s charities at Buckingham Palace on the evening of Tuesday 2 February.
The Prince’s Charities is a group of not-for-profit organisations of which The Prince of Wales is President: 18 of the 20 charities were founded personally by The Prince. The group is the largest multi-cause charitable enterprise in the United Kingdom, raising over £100 million annually. The organisations are active across a broad range of areas including opportunity and enterprise, the built environment, responsible business, education and health. The charities reflect The Prince of Wales’s long-term and innovative perspective, and seek to address areas of previously unmet need.
