Prince William Unveils New Patronages in a Heartfelt Video Following
Harry's Statement
Prince William has revealed his new patronages in
a meaningful video statement, appearing to respond to his younger brother
Prince Harry's recent announcement about bringing the Invictus Games back to
the UK.
The Prince and Princess of Wales' social media accounts
shared a video highlighting William's new honours and patronages, along with a
statement that came just a day after Harry's announcement. The video features
William with notable figures from various organizations and is captioned: "An
honour for The Prince of Wales to take on new patronages and responsibilities
with some incredible organisations. Looking forward to supporting their vital
work and making a difference together!"
This announcement follows
William's decision to step down as President of the FA, a position he held for
nearly 20 years, shortly after England's recent football heartbreak.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry issued a statement about his upcoming UK
show, expressing his excitement for the Invictus Games in Birmingham. "Your
city’s strong ties to the Armed Forces community made it a formidable
contender from the very start. Over the years, we’ve seen each city bring a
unique spirit and vision to life for competitors, their families, and
spectators," Harry said. He added, "We have no doubt the people of Birmingham
will join in celebrating the unwavering respect and admiration we have for our
veteran and service community, showing the world how their courage ignites
hope and unites us all — something your city knows well.”
In his
video statement, William also provided insight into his decision to resign
from his longstanding role as President of the FA, emphasizing his desire to
focus on his new responsibilities and patronages.
