So you paid more than they did?
this whole thread is hilarious. they break down and admit to having daddy buy the house, and then dude admits that he never bought a realty record and that they told on themselves lmfao
Since I’m petty and I’m fed up with people being like “Kate’s done one project and it was a garden”, here’s some facts:
PRE ENGAGEMENT
- Gap Year, spent part of it working in Chile for Raleigh International: Raleigh International is a sustainable development charity. They work in remote, rural areas to improve access to safe water and sanitation, build community resilience, to sustainably manage natural resources and to protect vulnerable environments
- Participated in the Don’t Walk Fashion Show while at St Andrews: a fashion show, founded in response to 9/11. Kate modelled in only its second year.
- Co-founded the Lumsden Club: an all-female group who carry out charity events
- Attended Boodles Boxing Ball in aid of SPARKS: a children’s medical research charity
- Trained with Sisterhood to row the channel: Money raised from the race went to Babes in Arms and CHASE. BIA researches cot deaths and still births, CHASE is a children’s hospice charity
- Organised the Time to Reflect art exhibition for UNICEF: unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children in danger
- Attended Boodles Boxing Ball in aid of Starlight: a wish-granting charity for terminally ill children
- Organised the Roller Disco, which raised funds for Tom’s Ward and Place2Be: Tom’s Ward is at the Children’s Hospital in Oxford, Place2Be is now one of her patronages
POST ENGAGEMENT
- Wedding Fund, which supported 26 charities: these included Combat Stress, ACT, Oily Cart Company, IntoUniveristy, Earthwatch
- Launched Coach Core with Will and Henry: provides young people aged 16-21 years old who are not in education, training or employment with the opportunity to become qualified sports coaches
- Involved in creation of M-PACT Plus: initiative to support children, parents and families affected by parental drug and alcohol misuse
- Edited Huffington Post UK: did this on behalf of Young Minds Matter, and linked to Children’s Mental Health Week
- Heads Together: self-explanatory
- Launched Mentally Healthy Schools: provides reliable and practical resources to improve awareness, knowledge and confidence in supporting pupils’ mental health
- Her Back To Nature garden: encourages children and families to go outside, came up with cards for people to recreate at home
- Supported Backyard Nature: inspires children, families and communities to get outside and engage with nature
- Launched Shout with W, H, and M: a text messaging service for those who suffer from mental issues
- Created the King’s Cup Regatta with Will: raised money for eight different charities
- Her Early Years Project: announced during symposium in 2018, has worked with a steering group, apparently will be announced later this year
- ALSO, she has 17 Patronages, used to be patron of the 100 Women Hedge Fund Initiative, works with the Scouts, has the GCVO, the RFO, and the Tuvalu Order of Merit. She also has a military appointment
RUMOURS
- Cut her hair and donated the cuttings to the Little Princess Charity
- Was apparently visiting hospices before her marriage and engagement (and was also doing so after her marriage)
- Worked with Starlight before her engagement and marriage
Literally all of these are just from the top of my head so… yes, she could do more. But she’s done more than just a garden
Just one point, the Starlight relationship was confirmed by some named sources including their CEO. I did a post a while back on her pre-marriage charity work which has the quotes: https://duchessofostergotlands.tumblr.com/post/132618346344/kates-connections-to-charities-before-her
Amazing. And Markle has done one vanity project after another.
