PW is becoming inspirational, I'm so glad to see him continue with this charity
 
Thx. I'm glad there are pix even if there aren't that many. :ermm:
I noticed how the women were all gazing at William as they talked. ;)
I would be too if I were them. ;) ;)

What a wonderful idea to put together a musical album to benefit his charity Centrepoint.
Some fantastic photos of the gathering too!
William seems to be raising lots of money for Centrepoint. I'm sure they appreciate his efforts. I know this charity is close to his heart.

Well yes, since it was his mother's favorite as well. I am glad he's continuting the work, however, and taking such a personal interest in the charity.
 
William looks really relaxed talking with the people. He seems to be getting more comfortable and confident doing these things as time goes on.
Practice makes perfect!
 
Looking at the Hello! video, there's one difference between William and his mother: he certainly can't be accused of overspending his wardrobe allowance. ;)
 
Enjoyed the photos. A pity there isn't a video of the speech he gave. Would've been nice to see that. He's been giving good speeches.

Boy, William has been busy lately!! He did a wonderful job greeting the line of people.
As an aside I like these trousers he's wearing. These form-fitting type of trousers look better on him than the baggy tan ones he wore when photographed with his buddies a few weeks ago.

What a wonderful video. I'm glad William supports this organization.
 
I read a quote from William once that has become one of my favorite Royal quotes, and after seeing that video, and tearing up, it somehow comes to mind:
" My mother was the people's princess, I shall be the people's king." He will be too.
It is to William's credit that he does not appear to take for granted that he lives in a palace, and does what he can to help the homeless in a most compassionate way.
 
@Royal Reporter:

William and Kate have arrived at Centrepoint's Camberwell Foyer. She's in an olive green sweater dress.

Kate's in a Ralph Lauren wool dress and her trademark knee high black suede boots.

Poor Catherine seemed to not know what to do her hands, there definitely seemed to be a move to put her hands by her stomach and then a 'no can't do that!!'. It would drive me mad having to constantly think about what I put where!

:previous:That's how the rumor mill started with that gesture! :) She should carry a clutch so she could occupy her hands until she breaks that habit. It seems William's is to clasp his hands, and Kate's to have her hands hover at her abdomen.

Duchess Kate: The Cambridges bring Christmas spirit to homeless charity Centrepoint

I also noticed that William has a tendency to fiddle with his tie. I've seen him tug at it near the knot for years. His other trademark fiddling habit is touching his face. He did it a lot when he was a teen. I don't see him doing that as much now.

Now some pictures from the inside are coming through. They're a bit blurry, so I apologize.

Thanks so much for all the pictures and links, Daria. It's nice that the couple's final engagement before Christmas is visiting a charity so close to William's heart. They always seem so relaxed and engaging around young adults, and I hope their visit lifted some spirits during this holiday season.

You're welcome, Baroness :D. I'm in full agreement. This is a great engagement to have right before Christmas; I'm more than positive that they brought some cheer into these people's lives.

That has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen from Wills :ROFLMAO: :D. I love that he's able to so to speak 'get down with the people'.

Here's the updated article from 'The Daily Mail'.

Kate Middleton: Duchess of Cambridge's low key visit to Centrepoint homeless shelter | Mail Online

I loved the story of the 'birthday cookie'. Another memory for all involved, and of course William's comment to the young lady who's training to be a nursery nurse about brining his kids over so she could discipline them :lol:. These are two wonderful young people who are in touch with the world and have loads and loads of love and compassion to share.
 
Thanks for posting the video, Ghostnight. It looks cute from the back; too bad there isn't a view from the front. I could see that Kate was diverted from her conversation, though, by William's antics!

Yes, a front view would have given us a chance to see his facial expression live :lol:. The clip is still funny though. I think it broke the ice even more.
