Prince William Talks to His Kids About Homeless People They See on Their School Run

Just because Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are royal doesn’t mean they live in an ivory tower. The three have seen homelessness on the streets of London, and, per The Mirror, their father, Prince William, is keen on educating them about the issue. He is also waiting for the right time to bring them to a homeless organization and teach them about helping others—something his mother, Princess Diana, once did with him.

“On the school run, we talk about what we see,” William told The Sunday Times. “When we were in London, driving backwards and forwards, we regularly used to see people sitting outside supermarkets, and we’d talk about it. I’d say to the children, ‘Why are they there? What’s going on?’ I think it’s in all our interests, it’s the right thing to do, to expose the children, at the right stage, in the right dialogue, so they have an understanding. They [will] grow up knowing that actually, do you know what, some of us are very fortunate, some of us need a little bit of a helping hand, some of us need to do a bit more where we can to help others improve their lives.”
