Summary
Prince William is launching the Princetown Community Fund next week, injecting £250,000 to boost local projects in the village near Dartmoor prison—now empty since last July due to dangerous radon levels. For the first time, the £1.5 million annual rent from leasing the prison will no longer feed his Duchy of Cornwall income but instead directly fund community regeneration starting in 2027. This shift follows revelations about a £37 million lease deal and prior military training contracts, all now aimed at redirecting wealth to residents. Managed by Devon Communities Together, grants range from £500 to £40,000—with support for applicants—and are part of William’s broader pledge to invest £500 million over ten years in housing, green energy, and environmental recovery. His upcoming visit will include touring a new community space, meeting publishers and locals, and seeing a youth club already upgraded with Duchy funds—all focused on revitalizing this remote Devon village.
