Prince George added his signature to a historic visitors’ book at The Passage homeless charity in London last week, inscribing his name immediately below those of his late grandmother, Princess Diana and father, Prince William.<\/p>\n

The 12-year-old heir visited the UK’s largest resource centre for homeless and insecurely housed people<\/a> on December 16 alongside the Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Diana had brought William and Prince Harry to the same Westminster charity in 1993, when William was approximately the same age George is now.<\/p>\n

The page bearing all three royal signatures now spans more than 30 years of the family’s connection to the organisation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

George was “very touched” when shown the page containing his grandmother’s handwriting from four years before her death in 1997.<\/p>\n

Mick Clarke, the charity’s chief executive, described the moment as William explained the significance to his son: “That’s my mum. And this was the very first day that she took me to The Passage.”<\/p>\n

Mr Clarke said the occasion felt like “a proud-dad moment” for the Prince of Wales, adding that it was “almost coming full-circle from 1993 to the end of 2025.”<\/p>\n

He described George’s reaction: “I think just really, again, very touched looking at it, and then set about signing. And his handwriting is much better than mine.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The young prince threw himself into kitchen duties during the visit, assisting with Yorkshire puddings while his father took charge of preparing sprouts.<\/p>\n

Mr Clarke noted there was “lots of banter” between the royals and staff as they worked alongside head chef Claudette Dawkins, who previously appeared in a documentary with William.<\/p>\n

“It just shows how relaxed William is,” the chief executive observed. “But it also shows how relaxed George was. He clearly felt very comfortable and really enjoyed getting involved.”<\/p>\n

George also helped assemble care packages for those unable to attend the lunch and decorated a Christmas tree donated from Westminster Abbey following the Princess of Wales’s carol service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

William’s relationship with The Passage stretches back to 1993, when Diana first brought him to the charity aged 11.<\/p>\n

He became the organisation’s Royal Patron in 2019, speaking at the time about how those childhood visits shaped his outlook: “The visits I made as a child to this place left a deep and lasting impression upon me \u2014 about how important it is to ensure that everyone in our society, especially the poorest, are treated with respect, dignity and kindness.”<\/p>\n

In a 2024 documentary, the Prince of Wales recalled his initial nervousness before that first visit, and how his mother’s warmth put everyone at ease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
