Prince William was in Peckham, south London, to open a charity's housing development, while Radio 2 DJ Sara – a supporter of the homeless charity, Centrepoint – watched on

The Prince of Wales has praised homeless charity Centrepoint’s new “stepping stone” housing development which aims to provide affordable rental flats for young people.

It forms a key part of Centrepoint’s Independent Living Programme to combat youth homelessness, with the charity estimating that around 15,000 16 to 24-year-olds in London, out of a total of 129,000 nationally, faced homelessness last year. Commenting on how it enables young people to escape from sofa-surfing, he added: “It’s just about that first step and you start from there. You can replicate it anywhere.”

She said afterwards: “It’s a good space, your own little space for a single person, and a nice place to start your life and build a foundation.” Meanwhile, a royal expert has explained how William and his wife, The Princess of Wales, are using their own experiences at school to raise Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
