We are used to seeing Prince William in official dress as during the Queen’s Jubilee, in a classic suit, or if need be, in a shirt, sweater and trousers. But as a newsagent, it’s a great first.
On June 8, to the surprise of Londoners, the husband of Kate Middleton was spotted by passers-by in the streets of the English capital dressed as a newsagent, with a red vest and a matching cap. And for good reason, he participated in a social action for the newspaper The Big Issueusually sold by homeless or precarious people.

“What an honor to have a private moment with our future king who was humble and worked quietly in the background helping those most in need. These ‘silent gestures’ often go unnoticed“Retired Chief Superintendent of Police Matthew Gardner tweeted after being lucky enough to cross paths with Harry’s brother.”Prince William asked my brother-in-law if he wanted to buy the ‘Big Issue’, to which he replied, “I have no change”. At that time, William pulled out a moving card dispenser. It cannot be learned. Priceless, or should I say ‘princely’”, he continued on the Web.
Lady Diana’s son wears his heart on his sleeve and that’s nothing new. According to information from DailyMail, Prince William has been a patron of the homeless charity Centrepoint since 2005. And in 2009, he also spent a night on the streets to soak up the reality of the homeless. A cause that comes to him from his mother!
