Princess Diana’s niece has made a rare statement praising her cousin Prince William’s leadership.
Lady Kitty Spencer joined the Prince of Wales at the Centrepoint Awards at the British Museum on Wednesday evening.
Princess Diana’s niece praised her cousin’s “unwavering” dedication to the homeless charity.
She said: “I’m extremely proud of my cousin Prince William for all that he does and continues to do to support Centrepoint and the vital work they provide to homeless young people.”
The 33-year-old model continued to tell Hello!: “His dedication to Centrepoint throughout the years has been unwavering, and his efforts have made a significant impact in raising awareness and driving positive change for those in need.
“Seeing my cousin’s commitment firsthand inspires me deeply and reinforces the importance of our shared mission.”
For the last eight years, Earl Charles Spencer’s daughter has been an ambassador for Centrepoint, the charity which provides accommodation and support to homeless people between the ages of 16 and 25.
The mother of one said the Centrepoint Awards hold a special place in her heart as a “celebration of resilience, hope, and transformation, showcasing the incredible journeys of young people who have overcome homelessness and adversity”.

She added: “I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that Centrepoint’s support can have, turning lives around and providing a pathway to a brighter future.
“Each story shared at the awards is a testament to the strength and potential within every young person, reminding me why I am so passionate about this cause.”
Prince William has been the patron of Centrepoint since 2005 and it was the first patronage he assumed.
He took over the role from his mother Princess Diana who died in 1997.
During Prince William’s childhood, Princess Diana took him and Prince Harry to homeless shelters as she was keen to expose the young royals to life outside the Palace walls.
William’s work with Centrepoint is not the only way he is raising awareness around homelessness.
Earlier this month, the father of three shared a first look at “Prince William: We Can End Homelessness”, a documentary with ITV airing on October 30 and 31.
