King Charles and members of British royalty will withdraw support from charity

King Charles and other British royals will withdraw financial support from nearly 200 charities and organizations following a review of their membership of more than a thousand groups. The information was released by Buckingham Palace on Saturday (4).

The review was launched after the death of Queen Elizabeth II to examine all the charities and entities that she, Charles and his wife, the Queen consort Camilla, were linked to, whether as presidents or benefactors.

Elizabeth II was a benefactor of 492 organizations, while Charles was affiliated with 441 and Camilla with 100. After the review, just over 830 were retained by the King and Queen, or transferred to other members of the royal family.

Organizations can apply to have a real benefactor who, in return, can publicize the entity's work and help ensure that its actions are widely recognized.

Among the organizations that will remain with royal support are the Royal British Legion, the armed forces' largest charity, Dogs Trust, Jockey Club and Wildlife Trusts, a nature-focused organization.
