On July 1, the Prince of Wales marked the two-year anniversary of Homewards, his Royal Foundation program aimed at ending homelessness across the U.K. The event included a panel discussion with former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and entrepreneur Steven Bartlett, both of whom are involved in the initiative.
Brown reflected on Diana’s influence, noting that she inspired William to care about homelessness from a young age. “She encouraged him to take an interest in why people were on the streets, and why people were homeless, and why people needed a better chance,” he said, per The Telegraph.
Kensington Palace shared highlights from the day on social media, showing William engaging with local leaders and advocates. One post read, “Marking two years of @homewardsuk… Today is a moment to reflect on progress and focus on the road ahead.”
