Prince William has contributed funds toward rescuing a beloved local pub, without invoking his royal status. According to a BBC report from June 17, the 43-year-old Prince of Wales gave roughly £1,000 (about $1,323) to the Semington Community Benefit Society, which is fundraising to bring the Somerset Arms in Wiltshire back to life.
The pub has sat empty since 2023. Organizers approached William directly about the project, and The Times noted the group floated the idea that he might “pull the first pint” if their fundraising goal is met.
William agreed to take part, listing his contribution on the Crowdfunder page under the name “William Wales”, the donation appears dated June 16.
