Quotes from an exclusive interview with Sophia Kichou
“In today’s Western world, with all the advancements and privileges we have, the fact some people don’t have a bed or a roof over their head is quite ridiculous”. ~Prince William in an exclusive interview with Sophia Kichou of The Big Issue, magazine for the homeless
On William’s caring side and his passion for helping people: He said
“I think it goes back to when my mother first took the [patron’s] role when I was a small boy. I was very struck by the people I met and what they were struggling with – sleeping rough, sofa surfing, not having basic comforts a lot of us take for granted."[Sophia Kichou, 24 year old trainee journalist, landed the big interview after the Prince made a promise to her four years ago when she was homeless.(Daily Mail)]
“That really struck me at a young age, bearing in mind the gulf for me, growing up in a palace and seeing the other end of the spectrum. That was powerful to see at a young age."
"What my mother recognized back then — and what I understand now — is that grief is the most painful experience that any child or parent can endure." ~Prince William
