Prince William will discuss the significant influence of his childhood trips to The Passage homelessness shelter with his mother, which allowed him to view “beyond the palace walls,” in a future ITV documentary.
The prince acknowledges that he occasionally feels bad about not being able to do more and wishes to instill in his own kids a compassion for others who are struggling.
“Much like I do now with my children on the school run, my mother began talking about homelessness when I was very small,” the prince says.

“Delivering change” on topics like homelessness is something the prince is eager to do using his platform.
Perhaps Prince William’s support for The Passage charity is the key to understanding his character, if passion projects disclose anything about a person’s motivations.
The charity, which is situated in Westminster, assists the homeless in London find safe housing and offers them friendship.
