The Prince of Wales brings his eldest son to support frontline services as part of long-term work tackling homelessness
Britain’s
Prince William has been joined by his eldest son, Prince George, in volunteering at a homelessness charity, marking a rare public moment that highlights both personal commitment and continuity in the royal family’s social engagement.
The Prince of Wales and the eleven-year-old future king spent time at a London-based organisation providing food, support and outreach to people experiencing homelessness, interacting with staff and service users during the visit.
The appearance reflects
Prince William’s long-standing focus on homelessness, an issue he has championed for years and placed at the centre of his Homewards initiative, a five-year programme launched to demonstrate that homelessness can be ended through coordinated local action.
By involving Prince George, William signalled an effort to pass on values of service and empathy while exposing the next generation to the realities faced by vulnerable communities.
Staff at the charity said the visit was conducted in a low-key and respectful manner, with the prince and his son helping with practical tasks and listening to those supported by the organisation.
Observers noted that Prince George appeared engaged and curious, asking questions about the work being done and the challenges faced by people without stable housing.
The volunteering engagement comes as the Prince of Wales continues to expand his homelessness work across multiple UK locations, bringing together charities, local authorities and businesses.
The visit underscored the royal family’s emphasis on hands-on involvement and long-term solutions, reinforcing
Prince William’s message that addressing homelessness requires sustained attention, collaboration and compassion.
