Prince William breaks silence on Harry for first time in years, shares touching memory with brother

Prince William has finally given his estranged brother Harry the first public nod in years, sharing a rare glimpse into a touching childhood moment with his baby brother. In his upcoming documentary, Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, set to air on ITV, William took a trip down memory lane when their late mother, Princess Diana, took him and Harry to The Passage, a charity supporting people facing homelessness.

Recalling how Diana’s warmth put everyone at ease, William remembers the visit as a powerful lesson that shaped his understanding of the world and something that ultimately led him to start this initiative.

“My mother took me to The Passage; she took Harry and I both there. I must have been 11 at the time, maybe 10,” William shares in his upcoming broadcast about his efforts to end homelessness. Reflecting on the 1993 visit to The Passage charity in London, he recalls, “I had never been to anything like that before, and I was a bit anxious about what to expect.”

Describing Diana’s natural ability to ease those around her, William adds, “My mother went about her usual, making everyone feel relaxed, having a laugh and joking with everyone. I remember at the time kind of thinking, “Well if everyone doesn’t have a home, they’re all going to be really sad.’ But it was incredible how happy an environment it was.” This is believed to be the first time in years that William, the heir to the throne, has publicly mentioned his brother, Harry since their rift began with the release of Spare.

Last year, the Prince of Wales launched a five-year project called Homewards as a tribute to his late mother, Diana, and a commitment to tackling social issues in the U.K. William shared how he is “desperately” trying to help those with nowhere to go.
