When Prince William secretly delivered food during Covid: ‘With a mask on, he…’ | World news
Prince William delivered food to the homeless during Covid and managed to get attention while wearing a mask. As the eldest son of King Charles said it was his job to end homelessness in the UK, he remembered his mother Princess Diana and her compassion for the homeless.
“It’s odd,” he told The Sunday Times of his latest project, adding, “But I’m really excited. I have been waiting for the right time to do this. “
It was also revealed by the newspaper that Prince William worked on the ground with the homeless charity The Passage and even flew under the radar during the coronavirus pandemic to help provide food. Mick Clarke, chief executive of Passage, told The Times that Prince William “does awful things where the cameras aren’t”.
“That’s what he enjoys the most, because he meets real people, hears real stories, what makes his plans. When you get here, nothing is sugarcoated, nothing is we make it clear. People on the street are very good at knowing if someone is real or not within a second. It’s very real,” he said.
Prince William made three visits to Passage in November 2020, meeting residents and helping prepare meals for their emergency food station that delivers food to homeless people, he said, recalling, “He will cook with volunteers, cutting carrots, packing food into boxes, washing, and in one case delivering the food to one of the hotels in Westminster. They were surprised when they saw the man who had picked them up. “
Prince William also revealed that there are social housing plans for the Duchy of Cornwall. “You’ll see that when you’re ready. I’m not a policy expert, but I push where I can,” he said.
Earlier this week, he officially opened Reuben House, a block of 33 studio properties in south-east London.
