The funds raised will go to several nonprofit organizations including the World Wildlife Fund, the Childhood Trust, the Brain Tumor Charity, Samaritans, Carers and more. Charles’ face was added to British currency earlier this year. This is the first time the Bank of England has changed the face of the monarch on bills. Charles’ late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was the first sovereign to appear on the bank notes.
