When Prince William rolls up his sleeves, he means it. In the new documentary Prince William: We Can End Homelessness,
Prince William proves that he is not afraid of a little humor as he takes on the personal challenge of ending homelessness in the UK.Viewers can learn more about Prince William's commitment to tackling the homelessness crisis in this two-part series. William returned to The Passage, a London charity he first visited with his late mother, Princess Diana, when he was 11 years old, to help serve clients at a Christmas dinner.
However, his playful attempts to dodge work by offering to “have a chat” with the visitors backfired, and one employee soon accused him of trying to “get away.”
“You don't have enough hands here anyway, do you?” William, wearing a white apron over a green sweater, said in one scene. 'Maybe we should go over there and have a chat.'
When the crown prince tried to sneak away for a chat, his kitchen companion said, “Oh, you're trying to get away from work, I'm watching you!” He gave me a knowing look. After much laughter, he offered to be on beverage and ketchup duty during the event.
The “Homewards” initiative, launched by the Prince last year, aims to transform the homeless situation in just five years, covering six key areas in the UK. The prince admitted that it is an ambitious goal, one that a compassionate mother would call “madness.”
The Dorcas series published several unpublished photos of his visit to Passage with Princess Diana in 1993. The Prince of Wales is now the charity's Royal Patron and spoke about how his mother's work has inspired his passion for ending homelessness.
“When I was very young, my mother started talking about the issue of homelessness. It's the same thing I talk about now with my children in school,” he said, explaining that he also started conversations with his own children, Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (9), and Prince Louis (6), about those less fortunate.
Ultimately, Prince William said he sees addressing homelessness as an integral part of his role as a future king. 'In my position and on my platform, I feel I should make a difference,' he said. 'I've spent enough time learning and listening to what people have gone through, and I'm going to make sure that I'm not the only one who can make a difference.'
