Prince William moved viewers to tears with an 11-word vow to the public made in ‘memory of Diana.’

Prince William has been hailed for his touching display of empathy, reminiscent of his late mother, Princess Diana, during an emotional encounter with a former homeless drug addict in his new ITV documentary, Prince William: We Can End Homelessness.

The royal’s nine-month journey was captured on film, leaving viewers reaching for tissues as they watched him pledge to tackle the UK’s severe homelessness crisis, described as the “worst homelessness crisis in living memory”.

With over 350,000 people without a permanent home, William set out an ambitious goal to solve the issue in various cities “within five years”. Despite some scepticism, including a panel member who challenged him with “I hope you mean it,” many praised the Prince’s efforts online.

One viewer admired his willingness to face criticism head-on: “Best thing about William: Doesn’t shy away from criticism. Understands the criticism against his privileged position, addresses it and carries on.”

Another expressed pride, saying: “Prince William, trying to end homelessness. His mother would be proud. At least he’s trying to do something about it. #PrinceWilliam #Homelessness.”

Emotions ran high among the audience, reports the Express, with one person admitting: “Right, I’m in tears watching this #PrinceWilliam #Homewards,” while another added their voice to the chorus of support: “Beloved Prince William, the spirit of his adored Mother, what an absolute Legend Xxxxx.”
