    Prince William Spends Homeless Night on London Streets

    Reminiscent of Princess Diana walking through an Angolan minefield in the 90's, check out this picture of the young prince dressed warmly for an evening dedicated to educating himself and his country on the plight of homeless teenagers in London. 

    William has supported the charity Centrepoint as a patron since 2005; it was his full intention to give his time and compassion to heighten the awareness of the charity's mission to give homeless young people a future.

    Here is a photo of Prince William bedded down on a cardboard box the evening of December 15th on a London bridge with Centrepoint's CEO Seyi Obakin.

    Speaking of his time with the Prince out on the streets, Obakin states, "Homeless young people often face terrible dependency problems with drugs or alcohol, mental illness, poverty, family breakdown and many other issues, all of which are experiences that we simply cannot begin to share after sleeping rough for just one night. But sleeping rough for the night brought home, as no ‘story-telling’ can possibly do, the nightmare and incredible vulnerability of being homeless night after night."
