I think it’s awesome that she’s the patron of this organization. Between this and the Special Olympics, I really think that she’s on the right track to actually doing some great volunteer work. The more I see of her, the more confident I am that she’s going to actually be a positive influence. She doesn’t strike me as just being there for the photo-ops or as silently hoping that the people these groups serve won’t touch her when she poses with them (I get that vibe from certain royals).
