Prince William (43) took his son George (12) to a shelter for homeless people to show him the reality of homelessness and show the work of organizations that try to solve it. states . The Prince of Wales and his son visited The Passage charity in Westminster – a place he has a deep personal connection to as his mother Diana († 36) regularly took him there as a boy. The visit took place last week.
Prince George got involved in preparing lunch for the people The Passage provides assistance to. The organization has been working with homeless people in central London for a long time. George also signed the guest book on the same page that his father and grandmother signed in December 1993.
The charity’s chief executive Mick Clarke said Prince George arrived as a Christmas lunch for around 150 people was being prepared. “It was about whether he was ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work — and he was,” Clarke said. “He’s a lot like his dad. He just wanted to help.” he added.
According to Clarke, Prince George was a “lovely boy” who showed a genuine interest in the work of the organization and in particular in talking to people who used its services. It is said that there was also a slight competition between father and son when preparing food. “William prepared the steamed Brussels sprouts and Prince George helped with the Yorkshire puddings,” he added.
Clarke also called the signature in the guestbook next to Princess Diana’s name a powerful moment. “It was beautiful and moving, especially when Prince William was explaining to George: ‘This is my mum’s signature. She brought me here the first time.’ It acted like a closed circle – from 1993 to 2025 when William brought his son,” he explained.
According to the head of the charity, the royal family is trying to show their children life outside the palace and to emphasize how important it is to support and protect the most vulnerable in society. The visit to the shelter took place on the same day as the traditional Christmas lunch of the royal family at Buckingham Palace. Prince William has been a supporter of The Passage since childhood, when his mother, who visited the charity both publicly and privately, began taking him there as an 11-year-old.
