PRINCE William says he feels glad that his mum introduced him to the cause of homelessness when he was a boy.

But Wills, 40, said he thought Diana, Princess of Wales, would be disappointed that more progress had not been made in tackling the problem.

Prince William said he was grateful for his mother Princess Diana introducing him to the cause of homelessness

He said Diana would be disappointed that we’re not much further ahead in terms of tackling homelessness

He made the comments in a Red Nose Day video appeal in which he meets people helped by charities backed by Comic Relief.

The Prince of Wales spoke to Miles and Nawshin at Groundswell, a group for the homeless.

Explaining the root of his interest in the subject, he says: “My mother introduced me to the cause of homelessness from quite a young age.

“I’m really glad she did.

“I think she’d be disappointed we’re still no further on in terms of tackling homelessness and preventing it than when she was interested and involved in it.”

Miles tells him: “People who experience homelessness have solutions if you just ask them — they know what needs changing.”

The video will air during BBC One’s Red Nose Day coverage on Friday.
