Prince William is to become the Patron of the 2008 Lord Mayor’s Appeal. This year
the Lord Mayor of the City of London has chosen Wellbeing of Women, the only UK 
charity dedicated to solving the health problems that solely affect women, and international
blindness prevention charity ORBIS as the beneficiaries.
Prince William will act
as Patron of the Lord Mayor’s Appeal for one year. He said: “I am so pleased to 
be the Patron of the 2008 Lord Mayor’s Appeal. Becoming involved in this way is 
particularly special for me because of the past association and commitment of my
mother, Diana, Princess of Wales to both Wellbeing of Women and ORBIS”.

The Lord Mayor Elect of the City of London is Alderman David Lewis.
