Prince William is to become the Patron of the 2008 Lord Mayor’s Appeal. This year the Lord Mayor of the City of London has chosen Wellbeing of Women, the only UK charity dedicated to solving the health problems that solely affect women, and international blindness prevention charity ORBIS as the beneficiaries.
Prince William will act as Patron of the Lord Mayor’s Appeal for one year. He said: “I am so pleased to be the Patron of the 2008 Lord Mayor’s Appeal. Becoming involved in this way is particularly special for me because of the past association and commitment of my mother, Diana, Princess of Wales to both Wellbeing of Women and ORBIS”.
The Lord Mayor Elect of the City of London is Alderman David Lewis.
