Prince William and Princess Kate made a generous yet “surprising” move as Prince Harry gears to celebrate his 40th birthday milestone.
William and Kate extended help to London’s Southwark Foodbank that suffered a huge theft, on September 8, 2024.
The foodbank, managed by Pecan on Peckham High Street, suffered £3,000 loss as food, hygiene products and a laptop was stolen.
After learning about the incident, the Prince and Princess of Wales donated £3,500 to assist in restocking the stolen items.
Pecan's chief executive, Peter Edwards, shared with the BBC, "This surprise donation by the Prince and Princess of Wales - following such a difficult spell for their family - underlines their kindness and decency."
Edwards also expressed how much the contribution meant to the food bank's team, "Their generosity will inspire staff and volunteers to redouble Pecan's efforts to alleviate poverty in London."
Meanwhile, members of the public also stepped forward, offering their own donations after hearing of the burglary.
Edwards remarked, "We are delighted that after such a difficult time for their own family, the Waleses thought of us and the people of the community in need across Southwark, and that's testament to their decency and compassion."
This heart winning gesture comes amid the speculations if the Royal Family will establish any contact with the Duke of Sussex on his special day, on September 15, 2024.
