“My mother took me toThe Passage; she took Harry and I both there. I must have been 11 at the time, maybe 10. I had never been to anything like that before, and I was a bit anxious about what to expect,” William says in the film.

The mention of Harry, 40, is thought to be William’s first public mention of his brother, from whom he is estranged, in several years.

One of William’s first official charities he served as patron was Centrepoint, following in his mother’s footsteps, as she too was a patron of the organization. Prince William has alsoserved as patronof The Passage since 2019, which he mentioned visiting with his mother when he was young.

On Oct. 16, William supported Centrepoint’s annual awards ceremony, recognizing young people who have transformed their lives after experiencing homelessness.

“What inspires me the most about the young people here this evening is that they have not only overcome homelessness to achieve their personal ambitions, but they are also all contributing to the communities in which they live — be that through teaching, fundraising or volunteering,” William continued.

The prince added, “While homelessness is, of course, a complex societal issue, I passionately believe that it can, and should, be ended. Achieving this will require a movement that creates systemic change. A change that focuses on prevention rather than management. And one that ensures all young people have truly affordable options to live and thrive independently.”
