Prince William was put on the spot while helping out at a Christmas party for the homeless in London. In his new ITV documentary, Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, he is seen lending a hand at The Passage, a homeless shelter close to his heart. However, when he floated the idea of leaving the kitchen crew to mingle with guests, chef Claudette wasn’t having it. With a playful, “Oh, you’re trying to escape the work, I’m watching you!” Claudette reeled him back in, sparking laughter from the Prince. Clearly unfazed, William later took on the less glamorous job of clearing plates, showing he was game for whatever was needed.
The documentary gives an inside look at the first year of William’s Homewards initiative, which aims to tackle homelessness with a strategy to make it “rare, brief, and unrepeated.” This goal takes inspiration from William’s childhood visits to shelters with Princess Diana and is focused on six regions, including Newport, Lambeth, and Aberdeen. The project brings together charities, local councils, and government departments, and in one scene, Big Issue founder Lord John Bird makes it clear that he’ll hold William accountable: “We need the expertise of everybody.” William backs him up, agreeing that it’s a “team game.”
