Prince William's Body Language Spoke Volumes During His Recent Aberdeen Visit
Prince William's body language has shifted significantly these past few months, and I suspect it has something to do with his wife Kate Middleton's big health announcement in January. For instance, last year, when he met with David Beckham at the launch of London Air Ambulance's newest helicopters, he was noticeably stiff and more formal. However, in January, when he chatted with charity members and staff at Centrepoint, he was more open and relaxed. It should come as no surprise, then, that the royal was all smiles when he visited Aberdeen to launch Homewards initiatives. But I noticed something interesting about his gestures as he interacted with one of his Homewards advocates and TV personality Gail Porter. Derek Ironside -The Prince of Wales and Porter looked like longtime pals as they chatted before meeting with a resident of one of the newly furnished homes. As seen in the above photo, the royal is completely at ease with Porter, and he doesn't shy away from physical touch—like a gentle hand on her shoulder—which indicates a genuine bond between the pair. Also, in a clip shared to social media, the prince not only embraces Porter, but he also gives one of the residents a giant bear hug—an authentic and sincere moment that speaks volumes about his compassion. The prince was completely unfazed by close proximity and physical touch, which demonstrates that he genuinely cares for others and desires to connect with people—especially with those who share his commitment to an important cause. On IG, William captioned his post, "An inspiring day in Aberdeen yesterday seeing all the work being done by Homewards and their partners in the area to support those in the city with lived experience of homelessness." Derek Ironside -In the comments, one fan wrote, "So powerful to see compassion paired with action. Homewards is such a meaningful step forward. Thank you for shining a light on lived experience." Another added, "This is wonderful!! An incredible initiative, thank you for highlighting it so powerfully." Given the charity's inspiring mission, it's no wonder the future king is so buoyant and at ease. Want all the latest royal news sent right to your inbox? Click here.

William to visit first houses in project to tackle homelessness in Aberdeen
The Prince of Wales will visit Aberdeen to mark new developments in his Homewards project which aims to help end homelessness in all its forms. William will tour the first homes to be delivered by the initiative's Innovative Housing Project with TV presenter Gail Porter, a Homewards advocate. He will also celebrate a business joining Homewards' roster of official supporters and providing employment opportunities for those at risk of homelessness or without a permanent home in the six areas where Homewards operates. During his time in the city the prince, also known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland, will highlight a new employer, supported by Homewards, now operating in Aberdeen and providing work to those who have slept rough or sofa-surfed. In 2023, the future King launched his ambitious Homewards project, which aims to develop a blueprint for eradicating homelessness in all its forms, 'making it rare, brief and unrepeated'. Six Homewards locations were chosen – Newport, Lambeth, Belfast, Aberdeen, Sheffield and the three neighbouring Dorset towns of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch – with the aim of delivering bespoke solutions to the homelessness issues in each area. The campaign is a major long-term focus for William, who has spoken of how visiting shelters with his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales when he was a child left a deep and lasting impression and inspired his work.
