William pays tribute to Diana in upcoming homelessness documentary
Prince William has mentioned his brother, Prince Harry, publicly for the first time in years, as he paid tribute to their mother in his upcoming documentary.
The Prince of Wales recounted an emotional childhood memory of the late Princess Diana taking him and his brother to visit a homeless shelter when he was 11-years-old.
“She took Harry and I both there. I must have been about 11, I think probably at the time, maybe 10,” he said.
The last time William spoke about his brother publicly is thought to be six years ago, when the pair were interviewed at Royal Foundation Forum in 2018.
In a touching tribute to his mother’s character William added: “I had never been to anything like that before and I was a bit anxious at what to expect. But mother went about her usual part of making everyone feel relaxed, having a laugh and joking with everyone.”
Meanwhile, King Charles is set to return to his normal schedule of overseas tours next year, as he continues cancer treatment. The monarch will complete full tours during the spring and autumn, provided doctors sanction the travel.

Prince William’s homelessness documentary to air ahead of his brother’s series
Prince William’s documentary focused on homelessness is set to air on Disney+, just as his brother Prince Harry prepares to release a polo-themed series on Netflix.
The Prince of Wales, 42, has participated in a two-part ITV series titled Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, aiming to shed light on his commitment to addressing the issue.
The documentary will premiere on ITV first on Wednesday and Thursday, with international audiences able to stream it on Disney+ starting 1 November.
On streaming rival Netflix, Prince Harry’s latest series promises “an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look” at the sport of kings. Polo, a five-part series co-produced by Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Productions, is scheduled for release in December.
While the Duke of Sussex is not expected to play a central role in front of the camera, he was filmed playing polo in Florida earlier this year to support his charity, Sentebale.
The series was primarily shot during the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, and aims to give viewers “unprecedented access” to the world of professional polo, as Team Sussex highlighted.

Were Wallis Simpson rumours orchestrated by the British establishment?
Were the scandalous stories surrounding Wallis Simpson’s time in China were the product of society gossip – or an orchestrated effort by the British establishment to sabotage her relationship with the future Edward VIII?
This is the question discussed by author Paul French in his new book Her Lotus Year.
Dubbed the “China Dossier”, the collection of rumours accused Simpson of affairs, connections to gangsters, and risque behaviours, but French argues that none of these claims had any factual basis with Simpson.
Instead, they appear to have been drawn from unrelated incidents in 1920s China, and possibly amplified by figures in British intelligence.
French’s research suggests that the tales were carefully constructed to tarnish Simpson’s reputation, showing the lengths to which the establishment may have gone to block a royal union with a controversial American divorcee.
“They just wanted to scupper this relationship somehow,” French said.
