Prince William has a longstanding commitment to supporting young people experiencing homelessness through the organisation.

The Ealing service provides 17 beds for homeless young people aged 16-25.

Mr Justice Fancourt has allowed the trial to be adjourned but has outlined his concern at the delays.

Additionally, the judge stated that he will not allow any further pushbacks to the start of the trial from 2pm onwards.
