The United Kingdom has been partying for the past few days, celebrating the coronation of its new monarch, King Charles III. As part of the lasting legacy of volunteerism to commemorate his ascension to the throne, an initiative called The Big Help Out has been launched, with millions of citizens offering their help to the country and the king.
Members of the royal family have been very active in this initiative, leading activities and participating in events. The Prince and Princess of Wales, William, and Kate, along with their children George, Charlotte, and Louis, took part in this initiative, joining a detachment of young scouts in Upton, Slough, to renovate and improve their facilities.
The Big Help Out: George, Charlotte, and Louis the big stars
Young Prince Louis was the star of the day, taking control of a digger alongside his father and shooting a bow as if he were Robin Hood himself.
Despite missing the coronation concert due to bedtime, Louis didn’t hesitate to get down to work to fulfill his volunteer duties in the most fun way.
Kate also joined in, pushing a wheelbarrow while her toddler helped her load it with dirt. Charlotte was delighted to run around helping to pave a new path and paint a door, while George learned how to use a power drill.
The Princess of Wales, co-chair of the Boy Scouts of England since 2020, led the royal family’s activity. She, along with her family, reset a path, dug a new drain, sanded and varnished the front door, added planters to the front of the building, and put up a mural to create a lasting legacy of the work done in this initiative.
This scout shelter was built in 1982 and is used by various community groups in the area, including the local mosque, a senior contact group for members of the Asian community, and the Boy Scouts group itself.
What is The Big Help Out?
The Big Help Out is a massive initiative intended to honor King Charles III’s decades of public service and create a lasting legacy of volunteerism from the first coronation of a British monarch in 70 years. More than 33,000 organizations and some 1,000 companies have signed up to participate in the initiative, which has been organized by a large number of associations. With this solidarity event, British citizens have shown their support for the new monarch and their commitment to their country.
