Oh cool I didn’t know I had donated some money to Children In Need
Let’s see how the lovely people on this sub spin this as a negative, on 3, 2, 1…
Good for him, I know I certainly ain’t donated shit this year.
The money is of course very welcome. Unfortunately it whiffs a little bit of Harry wanting to get in the public’s good books. I didn’t think the Royals say what personal donations they make, but I could be wrong.
Good for him but he’s still an embarrassment to us gingers
Not a fan of the Halfwit, but that money if actually donated will hopefully be used for some good.
On the brighter side his wife does not get her claws on this buy into being re accepted back by the British public
Donations like these help people and I’d rather rich people spend their money this way than on yachts or vanity rocket trips.
It could very well be a PR move which is quite cynical and undermines how “generous” this act is.
The royal family should not exist as they do and be tax payer funded in this day and age. Many of them have also shown themselves to be throughly unpleasant and odious people. They represent much of what is wrong with the UK and the bizarre adoration some sections of this country have them is nauseating.
All of those things can be true.
Did not think he had that sort of money to throw around.
Those who said Princess Meghan and her husband are ginty mcginty must feel silly now.
I highly recommend people listen to this podcast by Sam Harris, neuroscientist / philosopher,

specifically the end; where they discuss what motivates people to do philanthropic or altruistic things.
In short + how I have come to think about it is that there has to be some alignment between donor and society, where there is a mutual interest to do “good” things. Where donors do good things because there is some societal appreciation reward and the needy receive help / money, regardless of the motivation.
we should not discourage people doing altruistic things by saying their intentions were bad. the most important thing is that they have done the altruistic thing. What does someone truly in need care why the help is given, provided there is help.
Furthermore, if you were to say that the intentions do matter, at some point you have to make a value judgement on what is too much personal gratification / reward for the donor to mitigate the goodness of the act. Where do you stop? What about that little dopamine kick when you do a good act, is the goodness of the act offset in part by the fact you had some benefit from it?
We should generally encourage, as a society, people to do the right thing. That’s why I don’t get mad at all those videos on YouTube about people feeding homeless. If homeless people are getting help, who am I to care if some of the intention of the act was actually to get some societal appreciation for doing it
