He described how he views his royal role as attempting to influence and help where he can.
In the clip, an interviewer probed: "There will be some people who might question whether you’re the right person to lead this project and its efforts to end homelessness. How would you respond to that?"
William replied: "I think everyone having a right to a safe and stable home benefits us all. I come with no other agenda than desperately trying to help people who are in need.
