Prince William hopes to pass on his passion for helping the homeless to the next generation and plans to take his 12-year-old son, Prince George, to meet those supported by his charity’s work.
Inspired by a childhood visit to a shelter with Princess Diana aged 11, William has spent two decades campaigning for Centrepoint and now he wants George to see the people and stories behind his efforts.
This was told by a royal source The mail on Sunday: “He talks a lot with George, Charlotte and Louis about homelessness.
He is incredibly passionate and is keen for George to meet some of the brilliant people who inspired him to create Homewards.”
To mark 20 years as a Centrepoint patron, the prince will be celebrated at a special party on Tuesday, complete with a decadent chocolate cake from Juliet Sear, the baker behind Prince Harry’s 30th birthday cake, and the towering confection in Netflix’s The musical Matilda.
The “ultimate chocolate brownie cake” boasts a dense, fudgy, truffle-like center coated in chocolate ganache buttercream, a fitting treat for the lifelong chocoholic.
Williams’ flagship initiative, Homewards, launched in 2023, aims to reduce homelessness over five years.
Centrepoint CEO Seyi Obakin OBE revealed that the Prince will also be presented with a montage of never-before-seen images capturing his two decades of practical service.
