Prince William’s poignant ITV documentary showed Prince Harry is “blinded by sour grapes” as it proved him wrong, according to a royal expert.

Last night, the first part of the Prince of Waleses ‘ new show Prince William: We Can End Homelessness was broadcast on TV, exploring the first year of his Homewards initiative, which aims to develop a blueprint for eradicating homelessness in all its forms, “making it rare, brief and unrepeated”.

William reacted to Princess Diana’s efforts in the documentary, which first highlighted the hardship of the homeless. He was seen arranging meetings with landlords and charities, hosting meetings with former rough sleepers Wayne and Terry at Windsor Castle, and volunteering at The Passage, a homelessness shelter.

According to Dr. Tessa Dunlop, a royal historian and expert, the documentary presented William in a completely different light than his ex-brother Harry had predicted. She explained to the Mirror: “Bright blue eyes, open-necked shirt, hands casually crossed on his knee, this was Prince William as we have never seen him before.

” Charming, charismatic and kind, a man on a mission to end homelessness, a prince with the capacity to convince the suits in society and simultaneously get down with the kids.

“ITV’s ‘ Prince William, Together We Can End Homelessness ‘ wasn’t just moving television, it reframed the Prince of Wales as a future ‘ King of hearts’. Harry asserted in his memoir Spare that William, who had “alarming baldness,” was losing his “famous resemblance to Mummy.” It was fading apparently.

In 1993, William and his late mother Princess Diana made a trip to the Passage, a homeless shelter.

” The Duke of Sussex, blinded by his own sibling-sour grapes, couldn’t be more wrong. Last night, William channelled Diana. The same big-eyed stare, the same capacity to make the unseen in society feel seen, the same sincerity, as William readily owned, he had ‘ taken guidance from what my mother did’.

“As a charity boss casually observed, William isn’t just a celebrity, he is a ‘ super celebrity ‘ and his capacity to work that status was there for all to see. When else would a problem like homelessness have two prime-time TV spots in a row?

In response to questions about the prince owning too many palaces to be a credible homelessness advocate, he overstepped that accusation by running the Windsor Castle mid-documentary to reaffirm his authority. Former street sleeper Wayne didn’t care, he just wanted a platform to tell his story”.

Tessa added that the late Diana’s spirit persisted throughout the documentary’s opening scene, and that despite his privileged position, he is using it in the best way.

She explained: “Over-shadowed recently by the King and Kate’s cancer scares, and long considered the less accessible of his sibling duo, last night served to set the record straight. William is able to lead Diana while also bringing about a sympathetic kingship.

William readily admits that he became aware of what was happening outside the palace walls because she was ever present throughout the documentary. From his privileged position, he gets it.

Why else would I be here if I’m not using this position properly, he said, as he himself once said. Why indeed? I shed a tear, and surely I can’t have been the only one. Let’s face it, compared with those sleeping on the streets, we all live like princes. Ironic that that was necessary for a real prince to say that.

Tonight at 9 p.m., ITV1 and ITVX, STV, and STV Player will air the second half of the documentary.
