Like George Michael. He was a great example of that. And got so much bad press. Would have been such an easy PR move for him to make it known in his life.The truly charitable don't brag about it and you only usually find out when they die.
I always wonder if some of them have NDA's on it to stop people talking about it.
I agree. But that was never his intentionLike George Michael. He was a great example of that. And got so much bad press. Would have been such an easy PR move for him to make it known in his life.
To be fair, if they don’t do Charity work … what have they got?The truly charitable don't brag about it and you only usually find out when they die.

They probably don't want to be lumped together with those celebs who fly off to places like Africa, posing around and hugging the children to make themselves look charitable and philanthropic.Why is keeping charity work a secret a more honourable thing to do? Speaking to people about them donating to charity has encouraged me to give and brought my attention to charities I hadn’t heard about. If people sharing it helps raise more money how is that not better than everyone keeping stuff to themselves out of pressurised humility?

so a normal 5 year old then?Prince Louis reminds me of those children that always have the be the centre of attention.
didn’t Diana do something very similar with the boys when they were kids?“ Ooh look darlings. Poor people!”
Good lord.
According to this, there is going to be a mixture of private, affordable and social housing. Hmmm.
Prince William reveals he speaks to his children about homelessness
The Prince candidly spoke of conversations he has with his own children, George, Charlotte and Louis, to ensure they grow up knowing 'some of us are very fortunate'.www.dailymail.co.uk
He's a 5 year old who's the youngest of 3. Unless he was very shy, wanting to (and being used to) have attention on him is basically the default setting.Prince Louis reminds me of those children that always have the be the centre of attention.
I think it would be more concerning if he didn't show a bit of character and just sat there quietly without reacting to anything? I like seeing all the children at these official events and they appear happy to be included which is all that matters really.He's a 5 year old who's the youngest of 3. Unless he was very shy, wanting to (and being used to) have attention on him is basically the default setting.
It's also worth remembering that whether he wants the attention or not, he was assigned the "cute troublemaker" label by the press whilst too young to have developed decent impulse control, so people are now looking for those behaviours. If he sits quietly for an hour, then messes about for five minutes, it's that five minutes that will show up in gifs, videos, and articles.
I don’t know whether she pointed out homeless people to them as they whizzed to and from their palace in a chauffeur driven car but she certainly took them to Centrepoint. Wasn’t she patron of Centrepoint and William took over from her?didn’t Diana do something very similar with the boys when they were kids?
I do get that, but it happens so often. Their words were misconstrued or misquoted or taken out of context.Yeah the interview starts by saying he was first introduced to the charity by Diana when he was 11. I think the whole “pointing out homeless people to the kids” line was badly worded. He was trying to say (I think) that he’s introducing them to the idea that not everyone is as privileged as them etc but of course the headline is going to be “Willaim points out homeless people to his kids” which sounds a bit
I think this is a huge problem both William and Kate are going to face with these, especially the homeless one.I do get that, but it happens so often. Their words were misconstrued or misquoted or taken out of context.
What I find problematic is that an issue like homelessness ( or Early Years Education) is so huge, so complex and so multifaceted that APPEARING to think that you can just build some homes on bits of your huge swathes of land and everything will be lovely seems naive. There are as many reasons for homelessness as there are homeless people. Will there be access to, for example, mental health support, addiction treatment, debt counselling, job opportunities or training etc.? And how will the homeless people be ‘chosen’ to fill these homes?
I’m not knocking the intention behind this - doesn’t everyone think that the fact that there are still homeless people in this country is genuinely appalling? I’m just extremely dubious about this latest ‘project’.
Fwiw, I’m not a fan of Charles or his father, BUT I fully acknowledge that both the DoE awards and the Princes Trust have done an incredible amount of good, particularly for kids from difficult backgrounds who wouldn’t otherwise have had a hope in hell, so I’m not just knocking this because of my inherent dislike of the royals.
