Prince and Princess today piloted a new model for their ‘away days’
The Prince and Princess of Wales are to break with the classic mould of royal engagement as they combine ribbon cutting with generating hard cash for local communities.
The couple are determined to change their way of working in order to create change in the areas they visit.
Rather than the traditional “away days” that have long involved members of the Royal family sweeping into towns and villages across the UK, greeting crowds, unveiling plaques and then leaving, they aim to create a “lasting legacy.”
The Prince and Princess today piloted the new model, called a Community Impact Day, in Scarborough, North Yorks.
