What do the Windsors do? They don't just go to balls and charity events, wearing elegant outfits and jewelry from the family collection. The reality is far from what the tabloids write about them.
Find out how the royal family members actually spend their days in the UK. We reveal the secrets in the OBOZREVATEL article.
Charles III.
With the participation of King Charles III of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, parliaments are to be opened, national services are to be carried out, and projects of national importance are to be implemented. He meets regularly with the Prime Minister and participates in important negotiations. At the same time, he must remain politically neutral. At the same time, the King heads 13 charitable organizations, including the British Asian Trust and Business in the Community.
Charles III devotes a lot of time to caring for and preserving the environment. He wrote a book about ecology called Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World and Climate Change (A Ladybird Expert Book). In his leisure time, the monarch is engaged in gardening and paints watercolors.
Prince William
He is the eldest son of King Charles III of the United Kingdom and his first wife, Princess Diana, and grandson of Elizabeth II. William, Prince of Wales, after marrying Princess Kate Middleton, worked for several years in the East Anglian Air Ambulance, where he used his pilot skills. He later focused on fulfilling his royal duties and raising his children.
Since 2005, His Majesty has also been visiting a homeless hostel both in public and privately. He works alongside other volunteers and participates in Centrepoint's board meetings. In addition, William is involved in environmental issues: he oversees the Earthshot Award, which is given annually to five winners for their contribution to environmental protection.
Princess Kate Middleton
The wife of the heir to the British throne, William, Prince of Wales, Kate Middleton manages to fulfill both maternal duties (raising 3 children) and royal duties. George, Charlotte, and Louis are taken to school almost every day on their own. Very rarely, when important events are planned, she is accompanied by a nanny. At the same time, the Princess of Wales has time to play sports and cook. She heads many charitable organizations, including Action for Children and the Anna Freud Center.
For many years, Kate has been involved in early childhood development projects, which she calls "her life's work." In addition, she is passionate about photography: she takes family portraits and participates in community projects dedicated to various social issues.
Windsors working outside the palace
There are members of the Windsor family whose professional activities are not related to official royal duties. For example, Princess Eugenie of York is the director of the Hauser & Wirth art gallery and privately collaborates with a number of charitable organizations, including Children in Crisis and Anti-Slavery International. Her sister Princess Beatrice briefly worked for the Foreign Office and Sony Pictures before joining Afiniti, a software company, as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. She also works with charitable organizations, including the Teenage Cancer Trust and Outward Bound.
Princess Margaret's son David Armstrong-Jones is the owner of a furniture company. And Princess Anne's daughter Zara Tindall became an equestrian champion. Harry, the Duke of Sussex, the youngest son of Charles III, recently became the Chief Engagement Officer at BetterUp, a company that aims to support coaching efforts, develop artificial intelligence technologies, and increase people's adaptability to changing conditions. Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, earn income from a contract with Netflix and book publications. For example, on December 8, 2022, the documentary series Harry and Meghan was released, and on January 10, 2023, the prince's memoir book The Spare was published.
