The girlfriend of Prince William is working on a charity project which would help thousands of ill children in hospitals have fun Christmas parties this December. 
Kate Middleton is doing this on behalf of Starlight children’s foundation, which was founded by Emma Samms, who played Fallon Carrington Colby in the 1980s TV show Dynasty.
Kate has forged a link between her parents’ gift company Party Pieces and Starlight to give goodie bags, entertainment and decorations for 200 events to be held in hospitals across Britain this December.
Samms told The Mail on Sunday, “I find it terribly exciting that there are going to be 10,000 children who will get party bags and parties this Christmas, thanks to Party Pieces. We are extremely thrilled, as you can imagine.”
“I am looking forward to meeting up with Kate soon to thank her properly for what she has done for Starlight. It is such a huge donation.
“What a great thing they are doing – and what a great change it will make to these kids.”
Kate got the idea to link Party Pieces with Starlight after attending a charity boxing match earlier this year. There, she met Bianca Nichols, a 19 year old with cystic fiborsis, and was moved by her and the work Starlight did for her.
According to Sarah Dawson, the foundation’s director of corporate fundraising, Kate could see an immediate way she could link Starlight with her parents’ company.
“Our relationship is still in the early stages and I will be liaising directly with Kate,” said Dawson. “She will be putting everything together for us, from the pantomime that goes on to the paper cups.
“It’s amazing and fantastic what they are doing to transform the children’s time in hospital. There is no money involved.”
Kate has been working hard to change her image of a woman who parties while waiting for her Prince to propose to her, to someone who actually does something with her life. Last week, Ms Middleton was an organizer for a fundraising event which raised money for a charity set up in a friend’s memory.
