Prince William: Diana would be disappointed in lack of progress on homelessness
ok.co.ukThe Prince of Wales has said his mother would be “disappointed” that the UK is still no further along with tackling the problem of homelessness.
William appeared in a short film as part of the 2023 Comic Relief broadcast where he sat down with two people who had experienced homelessness.
For the film, William visited Groundswell, a homelessness organisation supported by Comic Relief, and spoke to Nawshin and Miles.
He said that his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, had been interested and involved in tackling the issue throughout her life. “My mother introduced me to the cause of homelessness from a young age and I’m really glad she exposed me to that – that part of life,” he said. “I think she’d be disappointed that we’re still no further along the line in terms of tackling homelessness and preventing it than probably when she was interested in and involved in it.” Sitting down with Nawshin and Miles, the Prince of Wales told them: “I’m here to really learn a bit more from you both, to hear a bit more about your lived experience of homelessness.” Nawshin described her story as “relatively complicated”, having been in and out of mental health hospital as well as having been homeless.
