Duchess Camilla has been praised for highlighting an important cause.
The royal, who is married to heir apparent Prince Charles, apparently donated to a charitable appeal that is supporting those affected by the fires over in Australia.
Wildfires have been blazing in the south-east of the country since September, wiping out wildlife and properties and devastating lives throughout the area.

So the Duchess decided to help towards the cause by donating to an appeal for those affected.
Australian non-profit organisation GIVIT, which launched the charitable appeal for the fires, took to their Twitter page to reveal that Duchess’s generous ways.
Alongside a glowing picture of the Duchess, the organisation praised the royal, writing, ‘Thank you to The Duchess of Cornwall for embracing GIVIT’s way of giving to help bushfire-affected Australians.
‘We're humbled & excited to share @ClarenceHouse has generously donated to our #AustralianFires Appeal ❤️,’ they added.
‘Thanks also to all who have already donated to our various appeals - Every #donation helps a person in need 💚’.
This comes after Prince Charles spoke out about he and Duchess Camilla had been ‘in despair’ over the devastation in Australia.
“My wife and myself are thinking of you so very much at such a difficult time and in such impossible and terrifying circumstances,” he said in a video on Instagram.
“I did want to say that both of us have been in despair over the last several weeks,” he continued, “watching this appalling horror unfolding in Australia and witnessing so much of what you’re having to go through from this distance, those of you who have tragically lost your properties, your houses, everything”.

“We both know, just how incredibly special and resilient the Australian people are,” finished the future King. “So I know at the end of the day despite all this horror, you will find a way to face it all and win through and all I can say is that we are thinking of you, we are praying for you in the most determined way.
“I’m very proud to know you all.”

Aleesha has worked for woman&home since 2019, when she joined the team as their digital news writer. A year on the news team gained her quick and reactive writing skills and a love for breaking stories, invaluable insight into where to get the best lifestyle releases first, an AOP awards nomination and the nickname ‘crazy watch lady’ after she became so obsessed with the royals that she followed breaking news alerts on her Apple Watch.
Before joining the woman&home team, Aleesha wrote for their sister site GoodtoKnow, where she covered celebrity news, health advice and where to snap up the cheapest lifestyle buys. With a background in beauty, Aleesha has also written for Stylist and Women’s Health where she developed an understanding into what makes a stellar product and which brands are worth paying attention to. She never leaves the house without a slick of lip balm and a good slathering of SPF, cannot live without an eyelash curler by her side and is always on the hunt for new lipsticks to add to her ‘Lipstick of the Day’ Instagram story highlight (and color-coordinated collection).
But it’s not just beauty buys Aleesha can help you with. Social media savviness, strong PR relationships and a need to stay in the know mean she’s all about the latest fashions, clever gadgets and reliable lifestyle buys too. She loves indulging in an interior craze (with a bedroom drowned in prints, plants and pink), is a regular visitor to the Missoma and Edge of Ember 'New In' pages and can’t resist the allure of a kitchen gadget—just ask her three coffee machines.
When she’s not playing around with new products and testing anything she can get her hands on, Aleesha spends most of her time with her head in a current bestseller, catching up on the latest Netflix craze with her sister, trying out new recipes, drinking wine with her bestie and (in non-COVID times) has been known to be a bit of a jetsetter amongst her friendship group. Oh and she makes the most of her Disney+ subscription by watching the Marvel films on repeat (definitely not just for Chris Evans...).
