Prince William continues to follow in the noble work of his late mother, Princess Diana. The royal today started the morning with a visit to Centrepoint, a London charity that helps homeless youth get back on their feet.
The meeting was especially meaningful to William, as his mom served as a patron for the organization and even brought William and brother Prince Harry along on her visits to the charity when they were just kids, introducing them to the cause early on.
Since then, William and Harry have both continued their extensive charity work, with William particularly focusing on ending homelessness in the United Kingdom through his and wife Princess Catherine’s Homewards initiative. (Centrepoint is a key partner of Homewards and helped inform the program’s strategy.) The prince also launched an ITV docuseries, We Can End Homelessness, about the issue and his efforts to resolve it.
William became a patron of Centrepoint himself following Diana’s passing, and this year marks his 20th supporting the organization.
Today, the Prince of Wales stopped by Centrepoint’s hub in Ealing—the third largest London borough in population—which has 17 beds for homeless youth between the ages of 16 and 25. The center offers immediate aid and counseling, as well as long-term services like education and employment opportunities.
At the center, William met with young adults who had experienced homelessness and have since been able to turn their lives around with the help of the charity. He also joined the group in playing games and doing some light boxing. See here:
