Volunteers reveal an unseen side of William’s commitment and genuine rapport with the homeless community
Charity volunteers working closely with Prince William have shared a rare glimpse into his true self, describing a warm and approachable demeanour that often goes unseen by the public.
Focused on his mission to end homelessness and remove associated stigma in the UK, the Prince of Wales has dedicated much of his time to this cause. In his upcoming documentary, We Can End Homelessness, he reveals how his longstanding connection to homelessness advocacy began in childhood, frequently visiting The Passage, a homeless shelter, with his mother, Princess Diana, and his brother, Harry.
Mick Clarke, CEO of The Passage, highlighted how relaxed and genuine William appears during visits, reflecting a deep connection that, he says, feels like family. “When he comes, it’s like he’s coming home. People who have lived with homelessness have an instinct for authenticity, and William radiates that,” Clarke said.
Gail Porter, TV presenter and former homeless individual, also credited William’s campaign for helping her process her own struggles with homelessness, adding that his involvement has provided a sense of validation and pride for those affected.
The documentary, set to premiere this week, is anticipated to offer further insights into William’s dedication and the impact of his ongoing campaign to combat homelessness.
