A Chicken in Every Pot - Prince William Ending Homelessness

Aside:

"Thhhhhhhhhhhaddie, what's "Ohlussnass"?, Louis (Prince Louis, the 3rd of my exquisite ROYAL children, my they grow up so fast!) randomly shouted to no one in particular, as was his want, and I stifled a sob and brushed away a tear that dropped down my cheek. Louis was silently looking out the window, Princess Charlotte, my daughter, took his hand into hers, and looked at me. Those hypnotic eyes and shy, doe-eyed glance, that made me think of my mother, Princess Diana of Wales. I am haunted everyday. I took a deep breath and looked out the window. Common, everyday people just going on about their day. Were they working? Which one of their numerous houses would they be going back to at the end of the day?

I seemed unable to talk, let alone breathe properly.

"Thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaddie? Ama TALKIN to you. I wanna..."
"Shhh, my precious, what "Ohlussnass" is, is something that one NEVER should have to experience!". I managed to choke out. I looked down momentarily, a bit, though not that much, ashamed of not having the right answers.
"Gramma Middleton, too?", Louis looked puzzled. Charlotte piped out, "Granny would NEVER let us be homeless. Don't worry, my little brother!"
"I donut wanna go to school! I donut like that school...why canna I thay at home!"

The pater familias in me had to step up to comfort my children, my heirs, the country, their destiny...
"Don't worry, my precious lovelies, Papa Bear is working so hard that there will be no "Ohlussnass" anymore. Everybody will have a home and happiness will reign everywhere...and so will I!"
A loud cry of joy came out of Charlotte.
"See, Louis, there WILL be an early Christmas this year! Like Gramma and Mummy said!"
Looking in the rearview mirror, I could see that Louis was looking back at me, a slight smile on his face.
"Does this mean I can get another pony?"
We all had a good, hardy laugh.

Prince William talks to George, Charlotte and Louis about homelessness on school run

Prince William revealed he is educating his children about homelessness while taking them to and from school.

The prince, 42, is following in his mother, Princess Diana’s footsteps by making sure his children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, understand what homelessness means.

In his upcoming documentary Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, the future King said: “When you are that small you are just curious and trying to work out what’s going on. You ask the question ‘why are they sitting there?’

“My mother would talk to us a bit about why they were there, and it definitely made a really big impact.”

Aside: You do that, Billy, you do that.

Teach us all, wise one.

Prince William: ‘I’ll show people how to prevent homelessness’
Heir to the throne responds to criticism about his Homewards programme in two-part ITV documentary

Prince William has said criticism about his privileged lifestyle and many residences drives him to try to end homelessness in Britain.

The heir to the throne was challenged to respond to jibes about his three homes and 135,000-acre Duchy of Cornwall estate for a two-part ITV documentary airing this week.

In Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, viewers hear a recording of LBC radio host James O’Brien citing criticism from Graham Smith, the chief executive of Republic, the anti-monarchist group, who says homelessness is about government policy and investment, and won’t be stopped by charity or royal patronage.

Asked how he feels about the criticism of Homewards, his five-year programme designed to show others how homelessness can be ended, William says: “I think if I answered every critic, I’d be here all day. But you know, criticism drives you forward.”

Highgrove House
So while King Charles is the King of England, reports show that he might be paying rent on his country home, the Highgrove House, to his son William. Highgrove is technically owned by the Duchy of Cornwall and William officially inherited the Duke of Cornwall title from his father in 2022.

“Charles is expected to keep his beloved Highgrove as his family home,” a source told Daily Mail at the time. “It is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, which William will inherit when Charles becomes King. Then William will be his father’s landlord, taking £700,000 a year rent.” Mind-boggling, right?
