The Prince of Wales plays the lead role in the latest offering from Disney+, taking viewers behind the scenes in an ambitious two-part documentary.

Prince William: We can end homelessness, shows him tackling this huge social problem. The prince works across six locations in the UK to “change perceptions and demonstrate that it is possible to end homelessness”.

Prince William was inspired by his late mother, Diana, who died in 1997, and who had a close association with homelessness organisations.

According to the UK’s social enterprise publication, the Big Issue, record numbers of families with children live in temporary accommodation.

The latest official statistics show 358,370 English households contacted their local authority for support after being threatened with homelessness or losing their home between 2023 and 2024.

The most recent annual count found there were 11,993 rough sleepers on London’s streets, a 19 per cent increase on the previous year’s total, and 58 per cent higher than a decade ago.

Speaking from Kensington Palace, Prince William admits he can’t pretend to understand homelessness.

“Why else would I be here, if I’m not using this role to influence and help people where I can?”
