Lady Kitty Spencer has exclusively revealed her pride in Prince William's work with young people who have experienced homelessness. As she joined the Prince of Wales at the Centrepoint Awards at the British Museum on Wednesday evening, Princess Diana's niece praised her cousin's "unwavering" dedication.

"I'm extremely proud of my cousin Prince William for all that he does and continues to do to support Centrepoint and the vital work they provide to homeless young people," Lady Kitty told HELLO!.

"Seeing my cousin’s commitment firsthand inspires me deeply and reinforces the importance of our shared mission."

For the last eight years, Earl Charles Spencer's daughter has been an ambassador for Centrepoint, the charity which provides accommodation and support to homeless people between the ages of 16 and 25.

The mother of one told HELLO! that the Centrepoint Awards hold a special place in her heart as a "celebration of resilience, hope, and transformation, showcasing the incredible journeys of young people who have overcome homelessness and adversity.

"I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact that Centrepoint's support can have, turning lives around and providing a pathway to a brighter future," the late Princess of Wales' niece said.

"Each story shared at the awards is a testament to the strength and potential within every young person, reminding me why I am so passionate about this cause," Lady Kitty concluded, following what she called a "transformative" event.

Prince William has been the patron of Centrepoint since 2005 and it was the first patronage he assumed having taken over the role from his mother Princess Diana who passed away in 1997.

During Prince William's childhood, Princess Diana took him and Prince Harry to homeless shelters as she was keen to expose the young royals to life outside the palace walls.

A worthy cause

Prince William's work with Centrepoint isn't the only way he is raising awareness around homelessness. Earlier this month, the father of three shared a first look at Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, a documentary with ITV airing on 30 and 31 October.

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