Prince William taking ‘inspiration’ from late mom Princess Diana, wants to try and end homelessness

Prince William has taken “inspiration” from his mother for his latest charity drive.

“I’ve slowly tried to work out what can I bring to the role and the platform that I have,” William, 42, said in a trailer for his upcoming “We Can End Homelessness” documentary — airing “soon”.

“I have taken some inspiration and guidance from what my mother did, particularly with homelessness.”

Prince William detailed how his mother, Princess Diana, inspired him to want to end homelessness in the trailer for his upcoming documentary “We Can End Homelessness.” “I’ve slowly tried to work out what can I bring to the role and the platform that I have,” he explained in the clip. “I have taken some inspiration and guidance from what my mother did, particularly with homelessness,” the father of three said of his mother – who died in August 1997.

In the clip, William chatted with football player Fara Williams, who personally experienced homelessness.

“You played for England and Chelsea whilst you were homeless?” he asked her.

Later in the same trailer, the father of three expressed that he doesn’t “believe we should be living with homelessness in the 21st century.”

The documentary will follow Homewards – a program that William launched in 2023 to combat homelessness in the UK – in its first year.

Princess Diana, who died in August 1997, also advocated to end homelessness during her time working with the Royal Family.

During their childhood, William and his brother, Prince Harry, would visit homeless shelters with their mother. Diana was known for her work with Centrepoint – a youth homelessness charity in the UK.

Two years ago, William was photographed selling magazines in the streets of London that turned out to be for “The Big Issue,” which is a magazine known for supporting the homeless.

At the time, William called the experience “eye-opening” in an essay he wrote exclusively for the magazine.

“I wanted to experience the other side and see what it was like to be a Big Issue vendor. My time was truly eye-opening,” he wrote.

Now, with his own organization, William is seeking to make homelessness: “rare, brief and unrepeated,” according to the charity’s website.

The program states that it’s “a transformative five-year, locally led programme that will aim to demonstrate that together it’s possible to end homelessness.”

William’s organization is working in six regions across the UK, including Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Sheffield, Newport, Lambeth, Aberdeen and Northern Ireland.

“Homewards aims to give people across the UK hope that homelessness can be prevented by showing them the progress we can make when we collaborate,” William’s statement on Homewards’ website reads.

“It’s a big task, but I firmly believe that by working together it is possible to make homelessness rare, brief and unrepeated, and I am very much looking forward to working with our six locations to make our ambition a reality.”

Prince William’s new documentary does not yet have a release date.
