Why do royals support charities?

Members of the Royal Family often become patrons or presidents of charities to raise their profile and support their work. This patronage can bring significant public attention and fundraising opportunities. Prince Harry's long-standing support for WellChild and his involvement with the Invictus Games are examples of this tradition, using his platform for good causes.
