Homelessness is a cause close to Prince William's heart. When he was just a child, the Prince of Wales realized this while accompanying his mother, Princess Diana, on a charity visit The Passage. Prince William has been its godfather since 2019.
He was only 11 and Prince Harry 10 when Lady Di took them visit the organization for the first time in 1993, said Prince William in the documentary
Prince William : We Can End Homelessness. “My mother took me to The Passage; she took both of us there, Harry and me. I must have been 11 at the time, maybe 10“, remembers Kate Middleton's husband.
Prince William: the Prince of Wales didn't know what to expect
Something struck Prince William during this first visit The Passage. In the documentary, cited by
The Mirror in his article November 20, 2024, the father of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis says he had never been to this kind of place before and was a little anxious to know what to expect.
The Prince of Wales, however, remembers having good conversations, playing chess and chatting. This is when Kate Middleton's husband had his awareness. “It is at that moment I understood that there were other people who didn't have the same life as you” he said.
