PRINCE WILLIAM and the Duchess of Cornwall have both written and donated to Captain Tom Moore after his NHS fundraiser hit £17 million.

Kensington Palace confirmed that the Duke of Cambridge made an undisclosed donation to the JustGiving appeal.

The prince said in a video filmed from his home this week: “It’s amazing, what I love also is that he’s a 99-year-old war veteran, he’s been around a long time, knows everything, and it’s wonderful that everyone has been inspired by his story and his determination.

“So he’s a one-man fundraising machine and god knows what the final total will be, but good on him, I hope he keeps going.”

The Second World War veteran hoped to raise £1,000 when he pledged to walk 100 times around his Bedfordshire garden before his 100th birthday on April 30.

He completed his challenge on Thursday morning and his has become the single biggest fundraiser in JustGiving’s history.
