The Prince of Wales's project, Homewards, aims to demonstrate that homelessness can be ended

Prince William is set for a new public appearance, according to GB News's Digital Royal Editor, as the royal continues his work on a key mission.

The Prince of Wales is expected to step out at a new exciting exhibition in London in September, after a summer holiday with his wife Princess Kate and their three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.


Svar Nanan-Sen and GB News's Royal Correspondent, Cameron Walker, spoke on this week's episode of The Royal Record podcast about The Homelessness: Reframed exhibition, which is now open at the Saatchi Gallery in central London.

The exhibition has been launched as part of the Prince of Wales's project Homewards, which aims to demonstrate that homelessness can be ended.

Cameron said: "Prince William's whole idea around Homewards, the project he launched last year, is all about making sure and demonstrating that homelessness can be rare, brief and, unrepeated.

"Also creating blueprints of how homelessness can be ended around the country with a view, maybe, one day to spread that message internationally."

Svar spoke about his experience attending the exhibition that aims to "break down stereotypes when it comes to homelessness".

He said: "That's what it's about. It's part of William's wider mission of ending homelessness.

"But the exhibition is all about changing the perceptions of what it is to be homeless and also showing that there are different sides to it.

"There are a range of emotions and multiple layers - for example, you may not be living on the streets, but you could also not have a home.

"We heard from some of the artists who shared their lived experiences, and there are a range of different challenges that they'd faced.

"A Kensington Palace spokesperson said that William's goal with this was to 'generate new imagery around homelessness'. And that's what the exhibition did."

Cameron responded: "Yes because there is also so-called hidden homelessness isn't there. We know Prince William's very involved in the charity Centrepoint.

"They really highlight the fact that there is a huge amount of youth who don't have a permanent home, but essentially sofa surf from one couch to another.

"So, as you say, they may not be living on the streets, but it doesn't mean they have a permanent home."

The Prince of Wales has been Centrepoint's Patron since 2005.

As children, Princes William and Harry made private visits to Centrepoint services with their mother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, who herself was Centrepoint’s Patron.

Cameron continued: "That's something that Prince William is really wanting to tackle as well. I believe that William is looking forward to seeing the exhibition himself at some point?"

Svar added: "Yes. It was confirmed that William will attend the exhibition, it's expected that it will be in September."

Cameron then quipped: "They've got to look after the kids during the summer holidays, don't they, the Prince and Princess of Wales? But yes, that exhibition runs at the Saatchi Gallery in central London until September 20."
