Pictures of Prince William’s visit to a homeless charity in 1993 with Princess Diana have been released for the first time ahead of an ITV documentary.
New images have been released which capture the Prince’s first visit to The Passage, a homeless charity in Westminster, London.
He is seen dressed in a navy suit holding presents alongside Princess Diana.
The photos also show William and Diana speaking to members of the charity.
William is also spotted in a separate visit that same year he attended with brother Prince Harry and is pictured playing chess in a red polo top.
The Passage was described by the prince as a ‘place [that] left a deep and lasting impression upon me,’ during a speech in 2016.
Over the years he has returned – including a visit in 2018 to discuss mental health with wife Kate.
More recently, he visited to announce the opening of two new accommodation projects in February 2023.

William is now fronting a two-part documentary about the project titled: Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, to be shown on ITV later this month.
Speaking on a podcast in 2023, William spoke about the visit saying he was ‘grateful’ to Princess Diana for showing him ‘another part of society’ that he would not have been exposed to.
The new ITV and ITVX documentary, filmed over 12 months, will be aired by ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm on October 30 and 31.
The documentary will feature stories of those currently facing homelessness or who have lived experience of the issue, alongside some life-changing solutions.
William also reveals in the documentary how he uses the school run to tell his children about homelessness, just as Diana did when he was a boy, as he attempts to find ways to tackle the issue.
It follows the first year of Homewards – a five-year programme founded by William and The Royal Foundation – which aims to end homelessness.
