Catherine and Prince William eat lunch in Belgravia to celebrate 15 years of marriage

The royal couple visited the Walworth centre operated by IntoUniversity, an organisation dedicated to supporting disadvantaged young people in reaching their educational and career potential.

IntoUniversity was among 26 charities selected by the couple for their Royal Wedding Gift Fund, which invited well-wishers to make donations rather than purchase traditional wedding presents.

The fund provided crucial early support to the charity, which was then in its formative stages.

Since receiving backing from the Royal Wedding Gift Fund, IntoUniversity has undergone extraordinary expansion.

What began as a cluster of six centres based in London has transformed into a nationwide network spanning 46 locations throughout England and Scotland.

The charity's reach continued to grow substantially last year, with more than 60,000 students benefiting from its programmes in 2025.

That same year marked another significant achievement when IntoUniversity welcomed its 250,000th student since the organisation's founding.

The charity provides pastoral guidance and academic assistance to help young people develop essential skills while broadening their ambitions for higher education and employment.

During their visit to the Walworth centre, Catherine and Prince William spent time with Year 5 pupils participating in the charity's primary school programme, which offers free immersive educational activities and workshops designed to boost aspirations and academic achievement.

The programme focuses on developing key competencies that help students succeed both in school and in their future endeavours.

Following their engagement with the young students, the Waleses headed to The Goring for lunch, adding a personal touch to their anniversary celebrations.

The historic hotel holds special significance for the princess, who spent the night there on the eve of her wedding 15 years ago.

Rachel Carr, the Chief Executive and Co-Founder at IntoUniversity, said: “Fifteen years ago, Their Royal Highnesses’ Royal Wedding Gift Fund provided generous support at a crucial moment for IntoUniversity.

“It not only helped us to continue our work, but also gave us the confidence to grow. Today, we are supporting tens of thousands of young people across the UK each year, and it was a privilege to share a part of that work with Their Royal Highnesses in person.

“We remain deeply grateful for the support of the Royal Wedding Gift Fund which has had a lasting impact on so many lives, and to Their Royal Highnesses for visiting IntoUniversity Walworth.

“It was a truly memorable day for our young people and the charity, one we will be talking about for years to come.”
