William & Kate's Wedding Fund Raises $1.7 Million for Charity

The public didn't just open their hearts to Prince William and Kate Middleton this spring. They opened their wallets — to the tune of $1.7 million raised for charity by the Royal Wedding Charitable Gift Fund.

William and Kate set up the fund so that anyone who wished to send them a wedding gift could instead donate to the couple's chosen charities. In the end, the fund took in a grand total of $1,706,828 according to St. James's Palace.
