If a seriously wealthy celebrity appeals to others to give money to charity do you ever think 'why don't you give the money?'
Just seen a report about Prince Harry trying to raise £2m in Lesotho. Can't he afford that himself? |

So being in the army and going to Afghanistan isn't helpful then  "
It was very useful, it was someone else to take the piss out of at meal times.  |

"I've asked this before bit apparently it's to encourage social responsibility or something. "
That's how I see it too.
Gets people to join in to do things together, like a sense of community. |

Funny, I thought the exact same thing watching Prince Harry, but I think it's about getting everyone involved and more can be achieved as it's never a one off deal is it, if you know what I mean.

Does he get money from the civil list? Doesn't he work and independently wealthy from his mother? |

Work? He seems to have an extraordinary amount of leave.
Where did his mother get the money she bequeathed to him? |

Alert alert...anti royal thread coming up !!
To the OP...yes I sometimes think when the celebs are on telly promoting their new single while on a charity show shouting for people to donate a fiver that it is a bit off when they could probably donate a good few fivers and it wouldn't dent their pockets.
I know, they could well be donating money quietly...but all they seem to be doing is pushing their new song etc so the charity seems second place anyway. |

Do you watch him that closely that you know how much leave he has? 
His inheritance I am guessing you would know where it came from, her divorce settlement and Charles earns his money to have paid for it.
Not sure if he gets any more money from the state though but I am sure someone will put me right if he does.

Of course he does, won't disagree with you there, but work he does.
As for his inheritance from her divorce settlement and her father I'd hazard a guess. |

Good old adopted Harry  . When celebrities do this sort of thing it is because there need of the spotlight , if they actually donated money each month or whatever we would actually see a reduction in Poverty and you can`t actually stop poverty because of the current systems(Financial/military/stock market/very large sprawling multinational companies that have there dirty hands in everything) in place which are entrenched and will not change for the greater good of poor people and the planet itself |
