Prince William Prioritizes Solo Duty Over Prince Harry's Birthday
On Tuesday, Prince William visited Princetown near Dartmoor to launch the £250,000 Princetown Community Fund, which will support locally led social, economic, and environmental projects in the moorland village.
The regeneration fund forms part of the Duchy of Cornwall's broader commitment to deploy more than £500 million over the next decade, with William no longer accepting the controversial £1.5 million annual rent from the abandoned Dartmoor Prison.
During the visit, William toured the Princetown Youth Club, which recently received Duchy funding for facility upgrades, and visited Gather & Moor community hub where he operated a historic letterpress.
Devon Communities Together will deliver the fund, offering grants ranging from £500 to £40,000 to local organizations, ensuring residents remain central to decisions about investment and community benefits.
The visit coincided with Prince Harry's 42nd birthday, which he celebrated in the UK after returning with his family; no public message from the royal family marked the occasion.
