The series, filmed over 12 months, will explore the first year of the Prince of Wales Homewards programme, which aims to demonstrate that ending homelessness is possible.

The miniseries, produced by Mindhouse and directed by BAFTA-winning Leo Burley, features powerful stories of those currently facing homelessness or who have experienced the issue, alongside some life-changing solutions.

It focuses on six locations across the UK where the future king hopes to help the communities, insisting: "I can't do it on my own".

The locations are Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Lambeth in London, Newport, Northern Irelands and Sheffield.

Prince William said: "I come with no other agenda than desperately trying to help people who are in need.

"I see that as part of my role, why else would I be here if I'm not using this role properly to influence and help people where I can."

He announced the highly anticipated release date on The Prince and Princess of Wales's official Instagram account in a joined post with Homewards.

He explained that the first year was about "building the foundations for success."
