Prince William and Kate Middleton have been named among Time magazine’s 100 most influential philanthropists, while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were notably absent from this year’s list.
The Prince and Princess of Wales earned a place on Time’s prestigious 2025 Time100 Philanthropy list, which celebrates “the 100 most influential people shaping the future of giving at a pivotal moment.” The magazine commended William and Kate for “modernising royal philanthropy.”
“Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, are less concerned with cultural preservation and more attuned to social issues,” Time noted, highlighting their dedication to addressing issues such as homelessness, mental health, and environmental sustainability.
The magazine also praised the couple’s strategic approach to charity work: “Crucial to the Waleses’ approach is aligning social imperatives with sound business strategies and building corporate alliances to expand their reach.”
