Prince William and Prince Harry are officially going their separate ways: the Royal Foundation is breaking up
are going their separate ways, as far as their charitable endeavors go at least, as the Royal Foundation is breaking up.
The Palace released in a statement that the Royal Foundation—which previously had been steered by all four royals, William, Kate, Harry and Meghan—will now become the “principal charitable and philanthropic vehicle for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.” The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will “establish their own new charitable foundation,” with “transitional operating support” from the foundation.
The palace notes, as previously reported, that the two couples will “continue to work together on projects in the future,” don’t fret, specifically including their work on the mental health initiative Heads Together. However, we are unlikely to see another panel featuring all four of them like the February 2018 event in London at the Royal Foundation Forum; at the time it looked like the first of many, and now it appears to have been the last.
—is, well, what you’d expect: the couples have their own agendas and are moving in different directions, and the structures around them will be reflecting that. As the palace explains in the release: “These changes are designed to best complement the work and responsibilities of Their Royal Highnesses as they prepare for their future roles, and to better align their charitable activity with their new households.
The Royal Foundation, which was created by William and Harry in 2009, has been quite successful so far, with highlights including the creation of the Invictus Games—Prince Harry’s pet project—and Heads Together, as well as Shout, a text-based crisis hotline.
