In addition to this introduction, it has four sections: one devoted to each of the three principal elements of The Prince’s role, and the fourth providing details of how his activities and Office are financed and outlining the responsibilities of his senior staff. While there is no established constitutional role for the Heir to The Throne, The Prince of Wales seeks to do all he can to use his position to make a difference for the better in the United Kingdom and internationally. The way in which His Royal Highness does so varies over time and according to circumstances, but it can, in simple terms, be divided into three parts. Undertaking royal duties in support of The Queen This involves The Prince supporting The Queen in Her Majesty’s role as the focal point for national pride, unity and allegiance, 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. Working as a charitable entrepreneur For many years The Prince has worked to identify charitable need and then set up and drive forward charities to meet it. Today, The Prince’s Charities, as the core group of 16 organisations is known, makes up the largest multi-cause charitable enterprise in the UK (see page 52 for the full list). Last year His Royal Highness helped to raise, directly or indirectly, £109 million to support the work of these charities. Between them, the charities employ 1,400 people, with thousands of volunteers providing additional invaluable support. Separately, The Prince is also President or Patron of 352 other charities. The Prince’s website, Promoting and protecting national traditions, virtues and excellence This includes supporting Britain’s rural communities, promoting tolerance and greater www.princeofwales.gov.uk, understanding between different faiths and communities, and highlighting achievements carries details of all official or issues that, without his support, might otherwise receive little exposure. In this regard, engagements, speeches, His Royal Highness often acts as a catalyst for facilitating debate or change through articles and a wide letters to, and meetings with, Government Ministers and other people of influence, and by giving speeches and writing articles. In doing so, he is always careful to remain separate range of biographical and from party political debate, and communicates with Ministers as a member of the factual information. Privy Council and to report matters raised by people during his visits round the country. During the year, The Prince of Wales undertook 501 official engagements. He visited 82 towns and 35 counties in the UK, and carried out 103 official engagements abroad. His overseas tours were to Italy, Turkey, Jordan, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, and he visited Spain, France, the United States of America, Bosnia, the United Arab Emirates, Germany and the Netherlands on other official engagements to promote the UK’s interests. During the year, His Royal Highness met many thousands of people at official events and was seen by many more. He also received or entertained almost 7,400 official guests at Clarence House, Highgrove, Birkhall and other royal residences. 02 | THE PRINCE OF WALES ANNUAL REVIEW 2005 INCOME AND EXPENDITURE Year to 31st March 2005 2004 INTRODUCTION £000s £000s Income from Duchy of Cornwall 13,274 11,913 Funding from Grants-In-Aid and Government departments 2,688 4,148 Total income and funding 15,962 16,061 Official expenditure (8,833) (10,095) Tax and personal expenditure (5,226) (4,406) Capital expenditure less depreciation, loan repayments and transfers to reserves (1,772) (1,442) Net cash surplus 131 118 In 2004-05 The Prince attended over 191 formal briefings and meetings, and received SUPPORTING THE QUEENSUPPORTING over 47,000 ENTREPRENEUR CHARITABLE letters PROMOTING AND PROTECTING mainly from members of the public. He wrote over 2,300 letters personally, with a further 18,000 written on His Royal Highness’s behalf by his Office. These figures do not reflect that part of The Prince’s working time devoted to going through the huge volume of correspondence and other reading material which he receives every week. In addition to his official briefings and meetings, His Royal Highness also spends considerable time working with members of his Household, trustees and directors of his charities and others to manage his programme and take forward the many initiatives with which he is involved. During the year, his Office also dealt with an estimated 40,000 questions and requests for information from the media in this country and overseas. The Prince gave 29 major speeches and wrote three newspaper articles. His website, www.princeofwales.gov.uk, which carries details of all The Prince’s official engagements, speeches, articles and a wide range of biographical and factual information, recorded 12.6 million page impressions in 2004-05, more than double the previous year’s total. Income from the Duchy of Cornwall increased by 11% in 2004-05, with the income being used in large part to help raise the £109 million for charity referred to above. The 11% increase principally reflected the acquisition of higher yielding commercial properties during 2003-04 and commercial property rent reviews. The majority of rents from agricultural properties declined in real terms. Grants-In-Aid funding and official expenditure decreased in 2004-05 because exceptional costs were incurred in 2003-04 on the refurbishment of Clarence House. Details of how the income from the Duchy of Cornwall is spent are given on pages 38 to 49. In order to keep pace with the development of The Prince of Wales’s official and charitable activities, his senior management team was strengthened during the year by the appointment of a Master of the Household and a new Treasurer. A part-time Private Secretary to Prince William and Prince Harry was also appointed to help advise them on career matters, official engagements and future charitable activities. Finally, the year culminated in the announcement on 10th February 2005 of the engagement of The Prince of Wales and Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles. The wedding was held on 9th April, a day which combined a private civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall and a more public Service of Prayer and Dedication at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. This was attended by Her Majesty The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and many members of The Royal Family, as well as almost 800 other family members and friends. The day ended with a reception given by The Queen in the State Apartments at Windsor Castle, before Their Royal Highnesses departed for Royal Deeside to spend their honeymoon at Birkhall. 03 | THE PRINCE OF WALES ANNUAL REVIEW 2005 INTRODUCTION ENGAGEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES In 2004-05, The Prince of Wales undertook a total of 501 official engagements, of which 103 were overseas; but the bare statistics tell only a small part of the story. The following examples of events and activities provide a fuller picture of the range and scale of His Royal Highness’s work during the past year. They are listed chronologically. Attending the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of D-Day In June 2004, The Prince watched nearly 500 soldiers parachute into Ranville, France, as a tribute to their predecessors who landed in Normandy as part of the Allied invasion. His Royal Highness, who is Colonel-in-Chief of The Parachute Regiment, met veterans from the D-Day landings and inaugurated the new British Garden of Remembrance in Caen. A speech to a conference on cancer care hosted by The Prince of Wales’s Foundation for Integrated Health and four major UK health charities In June 2004, The Prince called for more research into the benefits of complementary therapies for cancer patients at a conference in London organised by the Foundation for Integrated Health and four charities of which he is Patron: Marie Curie Cancer Care, Macmillan Cancer Relief, Breakthrough Breast Cancer and Bristol Cancer Help Centre. Addressing 200 healthcare professionals His Royal Highness encouraged the integration of conventional and complementary approaches in the treatment of cancer. A visit to a Gloucestershire school to promote healthy eating for children and local food sourcing In June 2004, The Prince, in his capacity as President of Business in the Community, led a “Seeing is Believing” visit by a group of education leaders and local authority chief executives to Brimsham Green School in Yate, near Bristol, to highlight the From top to bottom The Prince watches 500 benefits of using fresh, good quality food from local farms and suppliers for school paratroopers in a mass meals.
