Kensington Palace Posts Pensive Photo of Prince William in Deep Thought
I can't help but wonder what Prince William was thinking after his latest royal outing, thanks to this mysterious photo. Today, the Prince of Wales, 42, traveled to Scotland to celebrate the brand-new partnership between Homewards U.K. and Hays, which will benefit people experiencing homelessness. Kensington Palace shared a slideshow of photos from the visit on Instagram, including a striking portrait of Prince William in deep thought. The first photo showed Prince William standing next to British entrepreneur Steven Bartlett, who joined forces with the duke to support the cause. I immediately noticed that the Prince of Wales had a pensive expression on his face, which indicated that he was actively listening to what Bartlett was saying. In the caption, Prince William revealed that he's honored to be part of the initiative. He wrote, 'Great to be joined by @steven as @homewardsuk announces an exciting new partnership with recruitment specialists Hays, which will provide employment and training opportunities for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness across all six Homewards locations.' The royal continued, 'And in addition, thanks to 'Project Flourish', Hays—with support from @everyyouth_uk—will also work specifically with young people at risk of homelessness to find and sustain meaningful employment.'As evidenced by his comment on the post, Bartlett seemingly had a great time with the prince. He wrote, 'Thank you again for being so generous with your time Sir! An absolute honour.' Jane Barlow/Of course, Prince William's now-signature scruff was on full display during the outing. The royal originally debuted his new beard last year and has experimented with the length over the past few months. He previously revealed that his daughter, Princess Charlotte, didn't approve when he first grew it out. However, the rumor is that Kate Middleton likes it. (Sorry, Char.)

William goes on walking tour with firm supporting his homelessness project
The Prince of Wales went on a walking tour of Aberdeen with a homeless-friendly employer now working in the city. William's Homewards project, which aims to eradicate homelessness in all its forms, is supporting Invisible Cities Aberdeen, a social enterprise offering walking city tours across the UK guided by people who have experienced homelessness. The future king spent around 30 minutes on the streets of Aberdeen, affectionately known as the Granite City, as he walked from a reception with young people starting on the employment ladder to an event celebrating the work of Invisible Cities. William began his day in Scotland by launching a partnership between his homelessness project and a major recruitment firm to provide employment opportunities for those without a permanent home. Hays, a global recruitment firm, has become an official supporter of the prince's Homewards project, which is working in six locations across the UK. Hays has committed to supporting Homewards by securing commitments for employment opportunities within the firm. The prince, also known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland, joined a group of young people in a workshop discussing Project Flourish, a youth employability programme, created by Hays and EveryYouth – a national youth charity for those who are homeless or at risk of losing their home. William sat at a table and discussed job prospects with young people, and after some told him they had been looking for work for up to two years, the prince replied: 'I think things are pretty demoralising having waited so long and keep getting rejected, that's going to get you down.' He arrived at Trinity Hall on Holburn Street on foot around half-an-hour later, where people in cafes and hairdressers came out to catch a glimpse of him as he made his way into the hall. In an upstairs chamber William met a group of people who had just completed their training with Invisible Cities to give guided tours similar to the one he had just been on.
