A comparison makes the big differences clear. The royal network stands behind a radiant Kate, while Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry polish their image.
London – Princess Kate (40) has long since evolved from a charity lady who draws a little more attention to projects by appearing for a little more attention to an ambitious and progressive power princess whose own projects have the potential to improve the lives of millions of people . In a red business dress, Kate made a breathtaking appearance in the 3800 euro outfit by Alexander McQueen (shoes: Gianvito Rossi, bag: Miumiu), where she combined all her strength to present her latest high-profile campaign for her Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood.
The British royals also shine in the splendor of their projects
Kate’s basic idea is to support children and parents in the early phase in order to prevent later complications. To this end, she brings together experts from government, science, frontline workers and those affected. So she doesn’t have to hide from her husband Prince William (40), who launched the $ 90 million Earthshot Prize. For Kate, everyday royal life is not always glamorous, when she is confronted with a lot of suffering, has difficult conversations and often comes home with the mustiness of eligible institutions in her hair.
Also Megan Markle (41) and Prince Harry (38) create a lot of suffering with their non-profit organization Archewell Foundation (AWF), as the recently published first impact report shows: We are talking about 13 million dollars in donations that the foundation collected has awarded approximately $3 million in grants.
You have to do that first. But if you ask yourself, the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the ducal couple of Sussex is not their charitable achievements, but the constant bickering with the British royal family. It’s an image problem.
Facts and figures from the first Archewell impact report
In 2021, the Archewell Foundation raised approximately $13 million and awarded approximately $3 million in grants. According to people.com, it’s likely the rest will go to charity in the years to come.
According to the report, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s charity helped source 12.66 million COVID-19 vaccines in partnership with Global Citizen, served 50,000 meals in partnership with World Central Kitchen and helped 7,468 exit the country People of Afghanistan through a grant to the Human First Coalition.
Archewell also sponsored a positive masculinity guide for Equimundo, which has reached 3,673 people in 122 countries. The nonprofit sponsored the first cohort of 13 fellows from the Institute for Rebooting Social Media at Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society and built a playground in Uvalde, Texas, following the deadly May 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting.
The Sussexes stand less for their charity and more for the permanent royal stress
Anyone who moves out of the palace has to earn their rent themselves. Whether it absolutely had to be contracts with Netflix, Spotify and Penguin Random House remains to be seen, after all the AWF was there first. This is a fundamental difference from William and Kate, who “can devote every single working day to their big projects,” as news.com.au writes in a comment on the impact report. Without the royal network behind them, the Sussexes have played a minor role so farbut they are at the beginning and therefore do not have to compare themselves to the royal family on an equal footing.
Princess Kate’s powerful outfit also stands for the concentrated power structurethat she has behind her. With the Archewells Impact Report coming out almost on the same day as Kate unveiled the new campaign for the Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood, a comparison was almost inevitable.
