On a poignant visit to Newport this Tuesday, Prince William engaged deeply with the city’s efforts to combat homelessness, particularly among vulnerable women. During his visit to the Nelson Trust, a support service operating in Wales and Bristol, the Prince of Wales met with staff and individuals who shared their harrowing life experiences with him.
Among those he spoke to was 32-year-old Rebecca, a care assistant who has overcome significant challenges, including homelessness and personal tragedy, to pursue a degree in Psychology. Moved by her story of resilience, William praised her strength and impact, saying, “You seem like a force of nature, Rebecca. We need more Rebeccas in the world. You have done amazingly well. I’m not sure I would come out of the other side like you.”
The Prince also met with various local businesses, charities, and organizations, such as Newport City Home, Newport City Council, and Public Health Wales, discussing their collaborative efforts to end women’s homelessness. His visit highlights the ongoing social challenges faced by many and the crucial support provided by community organizations to those in need.
