Prince William has admitted his mum Princess Diana would be feeling really "disappointed" with the state of homelessness in the UK.The Prince of Wales, 40, has said he feels “glad” his mother introduced him to the cause from a young age, as he reflected on his childhood while recording a podcast with two people with firsthand experience of the issue.The royal said he thought his late mum would be “disappointed” more progress had not been made in tackling the problem during the intervening years.The Royal features in a video appeal recorded for this year’s Red Nose Day in which he meets people receiving help from charities supported by Comic Relief. “My mother introduced me to the cause of homelessness from quite a young age, and I’m really glad she did," he explained in the film. “I think she would be disappointed that we are still no further on in terms of tackling homelessness and preventing it than when she was interested and involved in it.” William is incredibly passionate about the cause, and as a result, is Patron of two charities that work to tackle homelessness, Centrepoint and The Passage.The Royal is also determined to try and make sure cases of homelessness become very brief for those afflicted, and to ensure that those suffering are always able to find a way out.The poignant film, which will air in full during the TV broadcast on Friday evening (March 17), saw William visit Groundswell, a homelessness organisation, where he met homeless people Nawshin and Miles.

They recorded a podcast as part of Groundswell’s Listen Up! Project, in which they shared “personal experiences, discussed harmful misconceptions and explored what more needs to be done”.
