The prince spent the night in a sleeping bag next to rubbish bins in central London in an organized event by a homeless charity Centrepoint.

The charity’s chief executive slept next to the prince and said they were frightened as a moment came that they were nearly hit by a road sweeper.

It is reported that they woke up in the street at 6 o’clock in the morning and walked to the West End to meet other participants who were also experiencing the homeless’ sleep.

A spokesman from St. James’s Palace said, “Prince William took away from the experience the importance of tackling all the issues that cause people to be homeless and stay homeless, from drug dependency to mental health problems.”
