HRH The Princess Royal was presented with a cheque for £50,000 for Carers Trust at a private dinner hosted by South Wales millionaire businessman Kevin Green.
The money raised will help the charity, for which The Princess Royal is president, to support unpaid carers across the UK.
Gail Scott-Spicer, CEO of Carers Trust, said: “We had a great evening talking about carers, the support they need and how the money raised will support many unpaid carers who are caring tirelessly around the clock.
“Carers Trust would like to say a huge thank you to Her Royal Highness, Kevin Green and everyone involved, for their kind generosity.”
Mr Green, 52, hosted the VIP dinner at a private suite in Claridge’s Hotel, London.
He said:
“I love networking and helping others.
“The opportunity of combining both interests by organising a private dinner to raise funds for the Carers Trust, such a deserving charity, had massive personal appeal.
