Prince William’s Return to Work Plans Revealed After Summer Break with Kate Middleton and Their Kids
The Prince of Wales will step out in early September to see an art display relating to his Homewards campaign
Prince William’s return to public work following a private summer break with wife Kate Middleton and their kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis has been revealed.
On Aug. 22, Kensington Palace announced that the Prince of Wales, 42, will visit the Homelessness: Reframed exhibit at the Saatchi Gallery in London on Sept. 5. The display highlights the complexities of homelessness across the U.K. and offers the public an opportunity to better understand the stories of individuals who have been affected.
Homelessness: Reframed is a collaboration between Prince William’s Homewards program, which he launched with the Royal Foundation in June 2023 to help end homelessness for good, the Saatchi Gallery and the Eleven Eleven Foundation. The presentation opened on Aug. 7, and Prince William will visit before it closes on Sept. 20.
The art gallery enables the Prince of Wales to spotlight positive stories that show “this is an issue that can be prevented and ended,” his spokesman previously said.
When he stops by in two weeks’ time, King Charles’ elder son is due to meet artists whose work is featured in the special display and people whose lived experiences have inspired some of the pieces. He will also hear from celebrated British photographer Rankin, who contributed to the exhibit, and spend time with children from Creative Kids, a charity that participated in one of the workshops for the “Open Doors” portion of the presentation.
The “Open Doors” section features doors created by children and young people from the six key locations — Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Lambeth, Newport, Northern Ireland and Sheffield — where Homewards is working to help make homelessness rare, brief and non-recurrent.
The upcoming engagement will be Prince William’s first public outing since July 14, when he and Prince George, 11, attended the UEFA European Championship soccer final between England and Spain in Berlin, Germany. The engagement was both work and play for the Prince of Wales, who is President of the Football Association, the governing body of soccer in England, and a loyal follower of the sport.
