Clips from Prince William’s visit to Aberdeen in northeast Scotland to thank homelessness organisations have raised eyebrows for one reason.

Prince William has visited Aberdeen to thank the city's homelessness organisations for their work supporting rough sleepers. The Prince of Wales - who is known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland - launched his Homewards project last year.

There are a wealth of people out there who want to help, but don’t know how,” he said during a visit to Aberdeen, where he met with local organisations working to combat the issue. During his visit, Prince William sought to persuade private landlords and businesses that supporting those who have experienced homelessness is not as risky as it might seem.

William praises ‘unconditional care’ of workers in homelessness sector - The Prince of Wales attended an event hosted by Homewards Aberdeen and visited Shelter Scotland in the city.

The Prince of Wales, 42, is meeting representatives from homelessness organisations around Aberdeen and will recognise their work to help people who find themselves in the position.

The Prince of Wales set up the William’s Homewards project which aims to develop a blueprint for eradicating homelessness in all its forms over a five year period.
