This involves supporting The Queen in her role as a focal point for national pride, unity and allegiance and bringing people together across all sections of society, representing stability and continuity, highlighting achievement and emphasising the importance of service and the voluntary sector by encouragement and example.
The Prince of Wales has been prescient in identifying charitable need and setting up and driving forward charities to meet it, and his group of core charities require His Royal Highness to assist directly or indirectly with raising over £100 million a year.
This includes helping to ensure that views held by many people which otherwise might not be heard receive some exposure. His Royal Highness does this through letters to and meetings with Government Ministers and other people of influence, by giving speeches, writing articles and participating in television programmes.
