Prince William goes incognito to sell magazines to help those in need
Global News
The Duke of Cambridge was selling copies of a magazine that supports those who are homeless.
He may be the future King of England, but for a day Prince William took to the streets undercover to sell magazines to support people who are homeless.
The Duke of Cambridge traded in his tailored suit for a red vest, baseball cap and nametag this week as he hawked the latest copy of The Big Issue magazine – a publication that is usually sold by homeless individuals to help them earn income.
In a LinkedIn post with a photograph of William, Matthew Gardner, a retired police officer, said his brother-in-law, Richard Hannant, had spotted William, 39, and enjoyed a “private moment with our future King who was humble and working quietly in the background, helping the most needy.”
“The finale to this unique occasion was when Prince William asked my brother-in-law if he wanted to buy the ‘Big Issue’, to which he replied ‘I have no change’. At this point William produced a mobile card machine. You cannot teach that.”
William, much like his late mother Princess Diana, has been a longtime champion of the homeless community, serving as a patron of Centrepoint and backing The Passage homeless centre – both local charities.
