Prince William has been praised by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown for transforming public attitudes towards homelessness in the same way Princess Diana changed perceptions of Aids and landmines.
Speaking at an event marking the second anniversary of the Prince's Homewards initiative, Brown said William had been "very influenced by his mother" on the issue.
"His mother encouraged him to take an interest in why people were on the streets, and why people were homeless, and why people needed a better chance," Brown said at the event.
He added: "Remember, his mother changed people's views on Aids, his mother changed people's views on landmines, and I think he's changing people's view that you've got to think of a homeless person as an individual who has potential."
