Princess Diana is still a Princes in the world to remember and pay deep tribute to her memories! Her unseen photos have triggered a colossal range of emotions among the globe’s people.
Prince William credits his mother, Princess Diana, as the inspiration behind his lifelong dedication to tackling homelessness. In a new ITV documentary, he recalls how his visits to The Passage shelter with Diana as a child helped him see “beyond palace walls” and shaped his empathy and duty for those facing hardship.
Reflecting on those early visits, William shares how Diana’s warmth and humor helped ease the atmosphere, revealing her approach to making everyone feel valued. The Passage, which provides essential support and friendship to London’s homeless, became a meaningful chapter in William’s life. His relationship with the charity deepened over the years, and in 2019, he assumed the role of its official patron, with visits that often go beyond ceremonial appearances. These experiences have also informed his broader Homewards initiative, an ambitious project aimed at eradicating homelessness across the United Kingdom. For William, these efforts are not merely a tribute to his mother but a reflection of the compassion she instilled in him from a young age.
