Britain's Prince William (R) and Seyi Obakin, CEO for the Centrepoint charity for homeless people, stand near Blackfriars Bridge in London in this December 15, 2009 photograph made available in London on December 22, 2009. Both Prince William and Seyi Obakin slept rough for the night, after the charity organised the opportunity for the Prince to experience a night sleeping on the streets |
It is reported that they woke up in the street at 6 o'clock in the morning and walked to the West End to meet other participants who were also experiencing the homeless' sleep.
A spokesman from St. James's Palace said, "Prince William took away from the experience the importance of tackling all the issues that cause people to be homeless and stay homeless, from drug dependency to mental health problems."
