William is a patron of Centrepoint, as was his mother, the late Princess Diana., Duchess of Wales. Diana would bring William and Prince Harry with her whenever she visited the center. Diana was also a patron of Centrerpoint.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 29, dressed in casual attire, showed up at the Camberwell Foyer center, where they sat in on a session of Centrepoint’s “Workwise” program, which helps the homeless youth prepare to find jobs.
William and Kate also attended a cooking class, where the youth are taught how to cook and eat healthy. The class prepared low-fat mince pies and gingerbread men cookies. They finished their visit watching a performance of the winner of Centrepoint’s “Got Talent” contest.
"It is a powerful motivator and Prince William is a keen and passionate patron. I have seen him talk to a young person and remember their story six months later," said Centrepoint's chief executive Sey Obakin. “This has been a difficult 12 months for the charity and our young people in particular. There are one million young people unemployed in this country and ours are at the back of the queue as they have no qualifications, no experience and have chaotic lives.”
Kate was wearing a olive-green Ralph Lauren long-sleeve turtleneck dress, with a black belt, tights and boots. William opted for a blue sweater and pants instead of his traditional suit.
Earlier in the week the royal couple attended the Sun Military Awards, where they met up with Prince Harry.
The three are expected to travel to Queen Elizabeth’s Sandringham estate for the royals’ annual Christmas celebration. It has been reported in the British press that the Queen and Prince Phillip invited 27 royals to attend this year’s celebration at the estate, “the largest gathering in years.”
