Philanthropy and Social Life
Goldsmith is a well-known socialite in England. She often supports London-based charities by attending society parties in their aid. She has been a committee member for the HOPING foundation, which works with Palestinian refugee children. She is also a supporter of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity, for which she helped organize a fund-raising fashion show with the designers Valentine Robinson, who also designed her wedding dress. At dinner parties, she has said, she is conscious of "not being an eco-bore" and discusses her green interests only when asked. In 2007, The Sunday Times branded Goldsmith a role-model for "daughters of the best families pursue prominent careers of their own" while also marrying "husbands their families will endorse".
