The Prince of Wales is bringing one of his projects to the small screen! In celebration of the one-year anniversary of the Homewards program, the Waleses' social media accounts and The Royal Foundation announced in July a new documentary. Prince William: We Can End Homelessness follows the launch of the heir to the throne's Homewards program.
“We know that television has the power to change hearts and minds," Amanda Berry OBE, Chief Executive Officer of The Royal Foundation, previously said. "Homelessness can seem like it is hard to prevent but by sharing the realities of people’s experiences and those who are coming together to support them, we can inspire action."
Amanda continued, "This two-part documentary will help raise vital awareness and demonstrate that, by working together, it is possible to end homelessness.”
Ahead of the premiere, Kensington Palace wrote on social media that "homelessness has been an issue close to The Prince’s heart ever since visiting @passagecharity with his mother as a child," adding, "Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far."

What is Prince William: We Can End Homelessness about?
According to The Royal Foundation, it will give viewers "an exclusive, behind the scenes look at the first year of the Homewards programme" and will follow the heir to the throne "as he launches Homewards across the country, as well as the journeys of those currently facing homelessness or who have lived experience of the issue."
What is Homewards?
Created by Prince William and The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Homewards is a five-year program that aims to demonstrate that it’s possible to end homelessness. It was launched in 2023.
“Through Homewards, I want to make this a reality and over the next five years, give people across the UK hope that homelessness can be prevented when we collaborate," William has previously said. “I am fortunate to have seen first-hand the tireless work of people and organisations across the sector, the tangible impact their efforts can have and what can be done when communities are able to focus on preventing homelessness, rather than managing it."
His Royal Highness added, “It's a big task, but I firmly believe that by working together it is possible to make homelessness rare, brief, and unrepeated and I am very much looking forward to working with our six locations to make our ambition a reality.”
