wrote a piece
for the magazine detailing why he went undercover to sell issues to members of the public in support of the cause earlier this month. “I was 11 when I first visited a homeless shelter with my mother, who in her own inimitable style was determined to shine a light on an overlooked, misunderstood problem,” the prince wrote. “In the 30-odd years since, I’ve seen countless projects in this space grow from strength to strength, including charities of which I have had the honour of being Patron.”
“I wanted to experience the other side and see what it was like to be a Big Issue vendor. My time was truly eye opening,” he continued. “And while I may seem like one of the most unlikely advocates for this cause, I have always believed in using my platform to help those stories and to bring attention and action to those who are struggling. I plan to do that now I’m turning 40, even more than I have in the past.
The prince also added he plans to “shine a spotlight on this solvable issue not just today, but in the months and years to come.”
