The British sister organisation of the Port Elizabeth-based Wilderness Foundation Africa has been selected as one of seven charities to benefit from the royal wedding of Britain’s Prince Harry and American actress Meghan Markle.

The chief executive of Wilderness Foundation Africa and Wilderness Foundation Global‚ Dr Andrew Muir‚ said it was an honour for the UK branch of the foundation to be selected as one of the recipients of donations‚ in the form of wedding gifts‚ made by the royal couple.

“We are deeply touched and honoured that Prince Harry and Ms Markle have chosen to support the Wilderness Foundation and its beneficiaries‚” Muir said.

The royal wedding‚ set to take place on May 19‚ will see throngs of people gather near the grounds of Windsor Castle in London in the hope of catching a glimpse of the nuptials.
