Prince William’s two-word admission as row erupts over royal privilege

Prince William has shared in his brand new documentary that he was “feeling guilty” amid his own personal privilege, in a stunning two-word admission. The future king, 42, has opened up about his life and reflected on his status in society and the Royal family.

William released a new documentary on ITV tackling homelessness, a year after launching his Homewards campaign.

It is going to be a lot of hard work,” said William before mapping out his plans to implement change throughout the UK.

He admitted that his guilt stems from not doing enough in the past and feels he has the ability to make an impactful change. The two-part documentary gave an insight into his work and exclusive behind-the-scenes access and sees the Prince make a vow to the public.

He said: “I’ve spent enough time learning and listening to what people have been through that I feel almost guilty every time I leave, that I’m not doing more to help. And I feel compelled to act, because I don’t want to just talk about it.

I don’t want to just listen, I actually want to see someone smile, because their life has been made better. So therefore, building a project is the only way I can see at the moment to try and alleviate and help people who are in a much less fortunate or in a very difficult situation,” he added.

Later a voiceover read: “The Prince of Wales has already faced accusations surrounding his own privilege. There has been some criticism of the prince’s plans because of the multiple homes he owns.

The spokesperson continued: “Some believe the prince is coming uncomfortably close to meddling in matters of policy.”
William claimed that his intended mission was to help those in need. Adding that he has “no other agenda” other than to make a real change within the next five years.

He hopes with the work he is carrying out he can “desperately” try to “help” people in need through his huge drive.

However, he has fallen under scrutiny from critics, with some people claiming that he is the wrong person to advocate for people who are homeless.
Speaking of those who question whether he is the right person to tackle such a cause, William said: “I think everyone having a right to a safe home benefits us all.

“I come with no other agenda than desperately trying to help people who are in need and I see that as part of my role, why else would I be here if I am not using this role properly to influence and help people while I can.

He added: “And I like a big challenge, I do like that, but I can’t do it on my own.”
The Homewards project aims to end homelessness within the next five years. Lord John Bird, who is the founder of the Big Issue, has claimed that he wants to see this issue be tackled face-on.

Speaking to Big Issue, Lord Bird said: “We need the expertise of everybody. We’ve had local authorities working here.
