Prince William surprised shoppers today by selling copies of The Big Issue outside a Tesco store in Hammersmith. The Prince of Wales joined his friend and Big Issue vendor, Dave Martin, with whom he has been selling copies for the past 18 months. The pair even exchanged Christmas cards. This gesture is part of Prince William's commitment to his Homewards project, which aims to end homelessness. His dedication to this cause began when his mother, Princess Diana, took him out on the streets to experience homelessness as a child.
