After a private summer break with family, Prince William returned to public work. On August 22, Kensington Palace revealed that the Prince of Wales will visit the Homelessness: The Reframed exhibit opens at the Saatchi Gallery in London on September 5, showcasing the complexities of homelessness in the U.K. and offering the public a chance to gain deeper insight into the lives of those impacted.
Helps Prince William to Know Positive Stories
The Reframed, launched with the Royal Foundation in 2023, is a collaboration between Prince William’s Homewards program to help end homelessness for good, the Saatchi Gallery and the Eleven Eleven Foundation. The Reframed exhibit opened on August 7, and Prince William is expected to visit before it closes on September 20.
The gallery enables the Prince of Wales to know positive stories that show “this is an issue that can be prevented and ended,” his spokesman said to People
When Prince William visits the Reframed exhibit in two weeks, he is expected to meet with artists featured in the display and individuals whose experiences have inspired the artwork. Moreover, he will also hear from British photographer Rankin, a contributor to the exhibit, and spend time with children from the charity Creative Kids, who participated in the “Open Doors” workshop portion of the presentation.
Homewards is trying to reduce homelessness by working hard to make it rare and non-recurrent as the “Open Doors” section features doors created by children and young people from the six key locations including Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Lambeth, Newport, Northern Ireland and Sheffield
A Tradition to Retreat From Limelight
Since July 14, the upcoming engagement will be Prince William’s first public outing following the event when he and his 11-year-old son, Prince George, attended the UEFA European Championship soccer final between England and Spain in Berlin, Germany. As President of the Football Association and a dedicated soccer fan, the event was both a professional and personal commitment for the Prince of Wales.
It is a tradition of the British royal family to retreat from the public eye from mid-July to the start of September, taking some time to rest and recharge. The tradition was expected to continue as King Charles and Princess Kate both received cancer treatment.
A palace insider told People about Kate spending the late summer stay at Balmoral, “She won’t have to be on center stage. Being with her family and just being herself will give her energy. There will be plenty of time to focus on her recovery.”
