Prince William has made a candid admission regarding the Royal Family during his latest interview.

During the sit down chat, the Prince of Wales also spoke of his desire to end homelessness in the UK.



William admitted that not everybody sees the point of the Royal Family and the public feud with his brother, Prince Harry has "taken up far more airtime".

The Prince of Wales said that he appreciates that it is "hard sometimes to see what the family bring and what we do" but explained that the royals "help people where we can".

It comes after Prince Harry revealed that his brother had reached a private settlement with the publishers of the Sun.

The Duke of Sussex claimed Prince William was paid £1million to not pursue his case.

The brothers appeared to keep their distance from each other at the Coronation for their father, King Charles III.

The last time Harry publicly appeared with his royal family members was last September, when he and Meghan attended the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II.

Aside from his row with Harry, Prince William also revealed his plans to end homelessness, which has been a lifelong ambition following in the footsteps of his mother Princess Diana.

This month, William will launch “a really big project” from his and the Princess of Wales’s Royal Foundation, his first significant intervention as heir to the throne.

“We’re all very busy and I think it’s hard sometimes to see what the family bring and what we do,” he told The Times.

“But the amount of causes, the interests, the dinners, the meetings, the visits, whatever it is, that we do day in, day out, throughout the year, we’ve always been involved in that.

"It’s part of what we do. It’s trying to spotlight other causes, other people, other interests, and help people where we can. We’ll continue to do that.”

Last year, William was spotted selling copies of The Big Issue with no media in tow, but was soon recognised by passers-by.

“It’s very hard to make it not about me — [that’s] what I don’t want to do. That was about promoting homelessness. If you’re doing to go and do genuine gestures, you do them privately, you don’t do them with an audience," he said.
