"I think it’s really important that we can try and change, and tackle, the narrative around homelessness," King Charles' son explained.

"People live with it, we see it every day in our lives, that’s something I want to challenge."

Royal followers flocked to the comments section to remark upon the Prince's likeness in the video to his late mother Princess Diana.
