Prince William took inspiration from his late grandfather’s ability to get things done today when he launched his homelessness project in Northern Ireland.
He was told how the Duke of Edinburgh persuaded politicians and civil servants to finance the building he was visiting in Belfast by asking them a very direct question: “Why don’t you just give them the ****** money?”
William, 41, visited the East Belfast Mission at the Skainos Centre in Newtownards Road and was shown around by the Rev Brian Anderson, who chairs the building’s board.
