duties of father and prince. Prince William explains: “I think it is essential to start these discussions early so that they understand the world around them“. The documentary Prince William : We Can
End Homelessness also highlights the challenges that the heir to the English throne faces, in particular criticism of the relevance of his role in the fight against homelessness.
