Prince William and Kate Middleton are, once again, joining forces with Prince Harry on behalf of another worthy cause.

It has been announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with the redheaded royal, are to become patrons of 100 Women in Hedge Funds' Philanthropic Initiatives.

The organization was created to support family health, mentoring and education charities.

The decision to have the royal trio partner with 100 Women in Hedge Funds seems to be a logical one as the group has supported three of the Duke of Cambridge's charities—Centrepoint in 2010, the Child Bereavement Charity in 2011 and SkillForce in 2012.

Over the course of the next three years, the nonprofit organization will focus its philanthropic activities on three new charities, for one year each—Action on Addiction in 2013, WellChild in 2014 and the Art Room in 2015.

"We are thrilled to expand our partnership with The Duke of Cambridge to include The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry," a spokesperson for 100 Women in Hedge Funds said in a statement released by St. James's Palace. "To date, our partnership has significantly impacted the charities we have supported and we look forward to building upon that success."

This marks the second joint patronage for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry after their patronage of their own charitable foundation, the aptly named Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
