The Duchess of Cambridge shared a tender moment with Prince William at a charity polo match where they raised over £1 million. Prince William, playing in his customary defensive position as number 4, competed at the DMMI Royal Charity Polo Cup 2025 and has now raised a total of £15 million for various charitable causes over 15 years of participation.
The funds raised at the match will be evenly distributed among 10 charities that both William and Kate actively support, enabling them to continue their essential philanthropic efforts. Kate, alongside her husband, presented awards and the cup at the event, showcasing their commitment to charitable endeavors.
During this year’s event, Kate’s patronage, the Evelina London Children’s Hospital, will receive a donation for the first time. The hospital plans to establish a new specialized treatment center for children with cancer, aiming to provide advanced services to young patients from London and the South-East region.
Gubby Ayida, the CEO of Evelina London, expressed gratitude for the significant donation, emphasizing the impact it will have on supporting children with cancer and their families during difficult times. The hospital aims to enhance facilities and equipment to create a comfortable and child-friendly environment for long-term stays.
Additionally, Prince William’s charitable work includes supporting The Passage, a homelessness charity close to his heart. The organization, which aims to make homelessness rare and brief, will benefit from the raised funds, contributing to their mission of preventing and ending homelessness.
The event also supports the Wales Air Ambulance, which will receive a donation to aid in their critical missions. The charity’s CEO highlighted the importance of such events in raising awareness and funds for their operations, emphasizing Prince William’s genuine support and understanding of their work.
These charitable initiatives reflect the dedication of the royal couple to making a positive impact on various social causes, from healthcare to homelessness, showcasing their commitment to philanthropy and community support.
