Committed King joins fight against inequality

Hours after arriving in Sydney with Queen Camilla, it was revealed that the King has made a personal donation to a new initiative designed to tackle inequality in Commonwealth countries.

The King's Commonwealth Fellowship Programme will be unveiled today by The Association of Commonwealth Universities. King Charles, 75, hailed the fellowship and said: "Throughout my life, I have believed in the power of education to improve lives and unite communities across the Commonwealth and beyond.

"There is so much we can learn from one another as we work together in the Commonwealth to tackle the major challenges of our age and, as these fellowships do in Small Island Developing States, to address them where they are felt most acutely.
