Prince William relives childhood memories with Prince Harry in a new documentary

Prince William provides a glimpse into one of his key royal goals in a two-part documentary entitled ‘Prince William: We Can End Homelessness’.

Good morning Americaannounced Monday that the upcoming docuseries highlighting the Prince of Wales’ initiative to combat homelessness will premiere on Disney+.

The series will also air on ITV in the UK on October 30 and 31

In a newly released clamp from the documentary, William recalls a touching childhood memory that includes his brother Prince Harry, making it one of the rare public mentions of his brother in recent years.

Prince of Williams’ two-part documentary, titled “Prince William: We Can End Homelessness,” is produced by Mindhouse, directed by BAFTA-winning Leo Burley and executive produced by Arron Fellows.

The Passage

The teaser, posted to YouTube on Friday, shows William talking about how his late mother, Princess Diana, first introduced him to the issues of homelessness by taking him and Harry to The Passage, a British charity that helps homeless people risk becoming homeless.

“My mother took me to The Passage; she took Harry and I both there. I must have been eleven, maybe ten, at the time. I had never been to anything like it before and I was a little worried about what to expect .’ said Willem. “My mother went about her business, making everyone feel relaxed, laughing and joking with everyone.”

He continued, “I remember thinking at the time, ‘Well, if everyone doesn’t have a home, they’ll all be very sad.’ But it was unbelievable how happy the environment was.”

William went on to reflect on his experiences during their visit to the support center at the time.

“I remember having some good conversations, playing chess, chatting – and then it dawned on me that there were other people who don’t live the same lives as you,” he said. “You know, when you’re quite small, you just think that life is what you see in front of you and you don’t really have the idea of ​​looking elsewhere. It’s when you meet people, like I did then, who putting a different perspective in your life head and say, “Well, I was living on the street last night,” and you say, “Woah.” I remember that happening.”

The Passage

“Prince William: We Can End Homelessness,” filmed over 12 months, offers an in-depth look at William’s Homewards program, which aims to demonstrate that ending homelessness is possible, according to a press release.

In a second clamp from the documentary, released on October 16, William answers those who may be wondering if he is the right person to lead the project.

“I think everyone having the right to a safe and stable home benefits us all,” he said. “I have no agenda other than desperately trying to help those in need. And I see that it is part of my role: ‘Why else would I be here if I don’t use this role well to influence people and help where I can?’ And I like a big challenge. I like that, but I can’t do it alone.”

The Passage

The documentary, produced by Mindhouse and directed by BAFTA winner Leo Burley, shares moving stories of people who are or have experienced homelessness. It is produced by Arron Fellows and also showcases innovative solutions.

William and The Royal Foundation launched Homewards in June 2023, with the aim of making homelessness rare, short-lived and once-in-a-lifetime.

To create effective strategies to tackle homelessness, Homewards will be working with six locations across the UK over the next five years. These are: Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Lambeth in London, Newport, Northern Ireland and Sheffield.

“Homewards will also raise awareness of the scale and complexity of homelessness through national campaigns (and) local story telling, and by putting people with lived experience at the heart of this work,” a press release said. “Inspired by success stories in countries like Finland and innovative projects in Britain, Homewards will show that by working together we can change the narrative, drive momentum and create lasting change to end homelessness for good.”
