Prince William says Harry’s name for first time in 6 years in step toward reconciliation
The Prince of Wales has taken a public step to reconciling with his brother Prince Harry.
Prince William publicly named Harry for the first time in what is believed to be six years while speaking in a new documentary about their mother Princess Diana. The ITV documentary, titled ‘Prince William: We Can End Homelessness’, recounts when Diana took her two boys to a homeless shelter in London to open their eyes to life without royal comforts.
“My mother took me to the Passage, she took Harry and I both there… I must have been about 11, I think probably at the time, maybe 10. I’d never been to anything like that before, and I was a bit anxious as to what to expect,” William said.
The film reveals previously unseen images of William and Diana at The Passage shelter in Westminster. One shows William playing chess with a homeless man during a visit on June 14, 1993, just a few days before his 11th birthday. Another showed William in a suit in the December of that year carrying presents alongside his mum.
Williamr remembered “making everyone feel relaxed and having a laugh and joking with everyone”. He also said: “I remember at the time kind of thinking, ‘well, if everyone’s not got a home, they’re all going to be really sad’. But it was incredible how happy an environment it was.
“I remember having some good conversations just playing chess and chatting. That’s when it dawned on me that there are other people out there who don’t have the same life as you do.
