Prince William Speaks Out in Candid and Passionate New Video: ‘I Can’t Do it on My Own’

Just call him the Prince of Making Headlines. Prince William, 42, may have taken a few weeks off this summer to spend time with his wife, Kate Middleton, 42, and their three kids, but now that fall is here, the future monarch is going full throttle.

Just this week, William attended the Centrepoint Awards at The British Museum, donned some surprising footwear while playing flag football and penned a rare personal message (which he signed with his initial, "W"). And now, he's making news as footage for his upcoming documentary Prince William: We Can End Homelessness has been released.

Prince William responds thoughtfully, saying, "I think everyone having a right to a safe and stable home benefits us all. I come with no other agenda than desperately trying to help people who are in need. And I see that as part of my role."

He continues, "Why else would I be here if I'm not using this role properly to influence and help people where I can? And I like a big challenge. I do like that, but I can't do it on my own."

The royal family previously teased the upcoming doc on the official Kensington Palace Instagram page. In an earlier post, shown above, the prince says, "I think it's really important that we can try and change and tackle the narrative around homelessness."

According to ITV, "Filmed over 12 months, this landmark ITV1 and ITVX documentary follows Prince William and the first year of his Homewards programme which he hopes will demonstrate it is possible to end homelessness. This two-part series, produced by Mindhouse, directed by BAFTA-winning Leo Burley and executive-produced by Arron Fellows, features powerful stories of those currently facing homelessness or who have lived experience of the issue, alongside some life-changing solutions."
