Prince William makes rare comments about brother Prince Harry amid family discord

Prince William recalled a transformative childhood moment he shared with his brother Prince Harry in his two-part documentary “Prince William: We Can End Homelessness.”

In a clip released Saturday, the royal shared that his interest in philanthropic efforts began after his late mother, Princess Diana, took him and his brother to The Passage, a U.K. charity that supports people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness.

“My mother took me to The Passage; He took Harry and me there. “I was 11 at the time, maybe 10,” William said. “I’d never been to anything like this before and I was a little worried about what to expect.”

“My mother acted as she always did, making everyone feel at ease, laughing and joking with everyone. I remember thinking at the time: ‘If everyone doesn’t have a home, they’re all going to be really sad.’ But it was incredible to have such a happy environment,” he recalled.

“I remember having some good conversations, playing chess, chatting, and that’s when I realized there were other people out there who weren’t living the same life as you.”

William continued: “You know, when you’re quite young, you think that life is just what you see in front of you, and you don’t actually have the concept to look anywhere else. That’s when you meet people, like I did then, who put a different perspective in your head and say, ‘Well, I was living on the street last night,’ and you go, ‘Wow.’ I remember this happening.”
