Notably, Wiliam’s birthday comes the same week that it was made official that Harry and Markle are separating from the charity foundation that they shared with he and his wife Kate Middleton.
“Later this year the Royal Foundation will become the principal charitable and philanthropic vehicle for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,” The statement began.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will establish their own new charitable foundation with transitional operating support from the Royal Foundation,” the statement continued. “In addition both couples will continue to work together on projects in the future, including on the Foundation’s mental health programme, Heads Together.
“These changes are designed to best complement the work and responsibilities of Their Royal Highnesses as they prepare for their future roles, and to better align their charitable activity with their new households,” the statement added.
“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are incredibly proud of what they have achieved together through The Royal Foundation,” the statement concluded. “They are especially proud to have established a charity that has had, and will continue to have, significant long-lasting impact, changing lives for the better.”
