The duke says a trip to a homeless shelter with his mother when he was 11 continues to influence him.
Prince William has described how a childhood visit to a homeless shelter with his mother inspired his commitment to helping homelessness charities.
The prince described how Diana, Princess of Wales, took him to the shelter to broaden his horizons. He is now the patron of homelessness charities Centrepoint and The Passage. Speaking ahead of his 40th birthday on Tuesday, the prince said he felt it was a good time to "highlight something that matters to me".
Wearing a red vendor's vest and baseball cap and official accreditation on his chest, the prince joined Dave Martin, who had volunteered to show William the ropes.
