Disney+ 2 part documentary series which premieres Friday November 1 2024. For UK viewers, before launching on Disney+, the doc series will debut exclusively in the UK on ITV1, ITVX and STV

"We Can End Homelessness" follows the first year of Homewards, Prince William's ambitious five-year program that aims to show it is possible to end homelessness, by working with six locations across the U.K. This series goes behind-the-scenes as Prince William launches his new initiative, and grants unique access as he sets to work to combat the crisis. Viewers will see him draw on the guidance of people who have experienced homelessness across a series of moving encounters, and in candid interviews, the Prince shares the inspiration he has taken from the example of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. After recruiting his dedicated Homewards team to investigate the issue across the UK, The Prince takes action as he plans to build supported housing on his own land.

I started watching this, trying to keep an open mind, and I had to shut it off.  Nothing will make me believe that Prince William actually cares about homelessness.  Seems to me that his PR team told him that he needs to have an issue to champion because he is looking like a lazy rich dullard who is averse to work, he was probably given a list of possible choices, this one was picked for him, everyone else does all the work, he shows up to events and says a few words about it.  That is the way of Prince William.

 I've read this was pretty much panned by most of the UK media when it was released over there, even the places that usually praise William and Kate for just showing up.  William may have the best of intentions but from what I've seen he's struggling to come across as sincere.
