Prince William was praised by one of his cousins for his “unwavering” dedication to a poignant cause.
Lady Kitty Spencer, the eldest child of Princess Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer, attended the Centrepoint Awards at the British Museum earlier this month, where the Prince of Wales took centre stage.
The 33-year-old model hailed the heir to the throne and claimed that he “inspires” her with his commitment.
She told Hello!: “I’m extremely proud of my cousin Prince William for all that he does and continues to do to support Centrepoint and the vital work they provide to homeless young people.
“His dedication to Centrepoint throughout the years has been unwavering, and his efforts have made a significant impact in raising awareness and driving positive change for those in need.

“Seeing my cousin’s commitment firsthand inspires me deeply and reinforces the importance of our shared mission.”
The mother of one has been an ambassador for Centrepoint, a homelessness charity, for the past eight years, while her cousin William has been a patron since 2005.
It was the first patronage he assumed, taking over the role from his late mother.
As children, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex made several private visits to Centrepoint services with their mother.

During this year’s awards ceremony, William made an impassioned speech and called for “systematic change” to homelessness.
He said: “What inspires me the most about the young people here this evening, is that they have not only overcome homelessness to achieve their personal ambitions, but they are also all contributing to the communities in which they live, be that through teaching, fundraising or volunteering.”
William added that while homelessness is a “complex societal issue”, it “can be ended” by teamwork.
He said he believed this required “a movement that creates systemic change” which “focuses on prevent rather than management” and “ensures all young people have truly affordable options to live and thrive independently”.
