Prince CharlesandKaty Perryare teaming up for a special cause.
During a glittering reception at Banqueting House in London on Tuesday night, the royal and heir to the throne announced pop starKaty Perryas an ambassador of the British Asian Trust’s Children’s Protection Fund for India.
Charles first met with Perry in India last November at a meeting in Mumbai of British Asian Trust supporters and advisors. Already a champion for children’s rights through her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Katy decided to show her long-term support to the organization and cause upon learning about the anti-trafficking work that the British Asian Trust is doing in the country.

“That is why I am especially honored to be named an ambassador for the British Asian Trust’s Children’s Protection Fund, and to help shine my light on the work that the British Asian Trust will be doing in South Asia, and to be a part of finding solutions to child trafficking. Children are vulnerable and innocent and have to be protected.”
