Prince William has pledged ahead of his 40th birthday to continue “shining” a light on the “solvable issue” of homelessness - and to introduce his children to charities supporting rough sleepers.
William is the cover star of the latest issue of the Big Issue after he joined a seller on the streets of London earlier this month, and has written an article for the magazine about his experiences.
He described his time with vendor Dave Martin as “eye opening” and said he was recognised by those who stopped to buy the magazine, which allows the homeless to earn income by selling the publication.
