Prince William and Duchess Catherine Middleton have had the wedding of the century. No one can deny that, but despite their high priced wedding they did make something good out of it for others. They set up a wedding fund raiser for those who wished to donate to one of their 26 charities instead of giving them a gift.

The royal couple was following William’s mother in giving back by Kate and his hand picked charities. The end result wound up with 1.6 million to give to the 26 charities. Some of the charities are for children and families of service members. No actual names were given, but sales from the official royal wedding music also went to the charities of their choice.

I love the fact that William and Kate are trying to follow his mothers footsteps. She was big on charity and loved helping others. I think that England should be so proud of those 2, since they are bringing class back to their country.
