She made sure we knew “the life outside palace walls thing was real, you know,” William says.
Prince William has revealed his work to tackle homelessness was inspired by a visit to a shelter with his mother Diana when he was a child.
“She made sure that the life outside palace walls thing was real, you know, not just a statement,” he said, adding that her approach has inspired him to discuss the issue with his own three children.It is hoped the two-part series will raise the profile of the initiative, generating further interest and involvement in the cause.
The documentary shows William undertaking Homewards engagements across the country and meeting homeless people as well as hearing the individual stories about what led them to their situations. “How I felt and things like that. I didn’t feel judged or anything like that. I felt like he was one of my mates.”Homewards, launched last June, aims to put six pilot locations – Bournemouth, Newport, Aberdeen, Northern Ireland, Sheffield and Lambeth – on a path towards eradicating homelessness by 2028.
