Camilla’s secret act of kindness for Aussie bushfire victims

This is wonderful.
  • 17 Jan 2020

Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall, has donated to an Australian bushfire charity.

Non-profit organisation GIVIT announced on Twitter that Camilla had dug deep to help those affected by the devastating bushfires.

                                WATCH: Prince Charles' message to Australia 

"Thank you to The Duchess of Cornwall for embracing GIVIT’s way of giving to help bushfire-affected Australians. We’re humbled & excited to share @ClarenceHouse has generously donated to our #AustralianFires Appeal. Thanks also to all who have already donated to our various appeals – Every #donation helps a person in need”.

The news comes after her husband Prince Charles delivered a video message expressing his despair at Australian’s who have been impacted by the bushfires.

“I fear this is a hopelessly inadequate way of trying to get a message to all of you that both my wife and myself are thinking of you so very much at such an incredibly difficult time and in such impossible and terrifying circumstances,” he said.

“Both of us have been in despair the last several weeks watching this appalling horror unfolding in Australia and witnessing so much of what you are having to go through from this distance.

“Those of you who have tragically lost your properties, your houses, everything.. to me it is, and to both of us, not to be believed possible. And I know how many houses have been lost.”

He added: “Above all, we wanted to say how much we have been thinking of all those remarkable, courageous, determined firefighters who have done much and worked ceaselessly to exhaustion.

“We feel so deeply for the families of those who have been lost and lost their lives in the course of carrying out their remarkable duties as only they can do.

“We also think of all the Australian wildlife that is destroyed in these appalling infernos, let alone everything else.

“We both know how incredibly special and resilient the Australian people are. So I know at the end of the day, despite all this horror, you will find a way to face it all and win through.

“All I can say is we are thinking of you and praying from you in the most determined way. I’m very proud to know you all.”

The royals message follows messages by The Queen as well as the the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
