Fund For Charity Through Prince Williams & Kate Middleton's Engagement TV Interview

Prince William & Kate Middleton
The regal couple, Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement TV interview raise money for charity. The money is used for the good causes of the foundation established last year by Prince Williams and Prince Harry, according to the 'Sun'.

Per footage of the 20 minutes interview has coasted 1,500 pounds per minute for the non-Commonwealth nations.

It is an exclusive affair and another reason that has added value is that the royal bride, Kate Middleton has spoken in public for the first time. The access for the exclusive unterview was first aired, free of cost, after which the licensing fee was levied on non-Commonwealth nations.

The funds from the interviews could be used for Sun-backed Help for Heroes, homeless charity Centrepoint and wildlife group Tusk Trust.

“William and Catherine were aware that there was likely to be a demand for the interview and broadcasters would be prepared to pay for it," said a St James''s Palace source the other day.

“They saw it as an opportunity to make money for the causes that are close to their hearts," the source added.

A source at ITN which owned the footage revealed, “There''s no fixed rate but it''s working out on average at around £1,500 a minute. It''s selling well, as you would expect, so the charities are really benefiting from it"
