While the tabloids stay busy nitpicking his every move, Prince Harry is out here donating food for families. This week, the Duke of Sussex made headlines for donating a “significant” undisclosed sum to Himmah, a grassroots charity in Nottingham tackling food insecurity, poverty, and racism.
The money will directly fund 650 food parcels for vulnerable families, a lifeline during a cost-of-living crisis that continues to hit low-income and marginalized communities hardest.
This wasn’t a one-off. In 2020, Meghan donated £10,000 to Himmah. The charity kept it quiet, fearing backlash. After her Oprah interview, they went public, saying as a race and poverty org, they had to show solidarity. The Sussexes don’t just donate; they take risks for what’s right.
Together, Meghan and Harry’s donations show a consistent, values-driven commitment to grassroots justice, even when that support comes with political risk.
“To have been chosen by such a high-profile royal once is amazing, but to have been supported by Prince Harry too left us completely gobsmacked and hugely humbled,” said Sajid Mohammed, director of Himmah.
The charity also supports joint Muslim and Jewish projects, emphasizing interfaith solidarity through hot meals, food banks, and advocacy.

Why It Matters
In a media ecosystem where outrage outshines action, Prince Harry’s donation is a reminder that you don’t have to be loud to make a difference. Various media outlets may ignore his charitable work or bury it under palace drama, but on the ground, families in Nottingham will have food because of it.
