The photo was stored in the archive of the institution and has not been published anywhere before, just like it was not even among the members of the royal family. After the prince went further, and Mark Smith, the fund's ambassador, admitted to the press: "The moment when we handed him the photo turned out very touching. William looked at the picture for a long time, smiling, and then said that he felt very strange, because now, after so many years, he happened to see a new picture of his mother. In addition, the heir to the British throne remembered that day and the T-shirts they had to wear. "

William visited the apartment of one of the trustees of the fund
After a touching moment with the photo, the prince visited the apartment of Alex Reid, to whom the fund gave housing. This person lived for more than 5 years on the street, but The Passage supported him and now he has a roof over his head and work. At a meeting with William, Alex said these words: "I am very glad to see you. All the last days I cleaned my dwelling to show it to you. "
At the end of his visit, Prince William admitted that as a child visiting the fund for the homeless The Passage made him a strong impression. "After this visit, I realized how important it is for people who can provide support to those in need. It is very important that even the poorest member of our state be treated with respect, kindness and dignity. In addition, I believe that any person should realize his potential and it is very good that The Passage is that organization that provides such support. "
