Good News: Here’s How You Can Watch Prince William’s Groundbreaking New Documentary in Both the U.K. and the U.S.

The Prince of Wales’ film about the first year of his landmark Homewards campaign has landed a U.S. distributor

Prince William’s documentary on his mission to help the crisis of the unhoused will be screened around the world — and not just in Britain.

The film, Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, captures a behind the scenes look at the Prince of Wales’ journey throughout the first year of his Homewards program and underscores his longtime commitment to fight homelessness.

It will screen on Disney+ in the U.S. beginning Friday, Nov. 1, it was announced on Monday, Oct. 28. In the U.K., it will air on ITV and its allied streaming service ITVx over two nights from Oct. 30 to 31.

The two-part series follows William, 42, as he takes Homewards across the U.K., telling the stories of individuals currently facing homelessness and those with lived experience of the issue. In the documentary, the prince highlights some of the notable new ideas that are being introduced to combat homelessness in six key locations that Homewards serves: Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Lambeth, Newport, Northern Ireland and Sheffield.

The royal was inspired to help the homeless by his late mother, Princess Diana, who took him and his brother Prince Harry to centers when they were young. In a clip shared on Saturday, Oct. 26, William reflects on those powerful, impactful visits.

“My mother took me to The Passage; she took Harry and I both there. I must have been 11 at the time, maybe 10. I had never been to anything like that before, and I was a bit anxious about what to expect,” William says in the film.

The mention of Harry, 40, is thought to be William’s first public mention of his brother, from whom he is estranged, in several years.

One of William’s first official charities he served as patron was Centrepoint, following in his mother’s footsteps, as she too was a patron of the organization. Prince William has also served as patron of The Passage since 2019, which he mentioned visiting with his mother when he was young.

On Oct. 16, William supported Centrepoint’s annual awards ceremony, recognizing young people who have transformed their lives after experiencing homelessness.

“I am inspired by the ambition and commitment of all the award winners and nominees this evening. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves,” he said in his remarks that evening.

“What inspires me the most about the young people here this evening is that they have not only overcome homelessness to achieve their personal ambitions, but they are also all contributing to the communities in which they live — be that through teaching, fundraising or volunteering,” William continued.

The prince added, “While homelessness is, of course, a complex societal issue, I passionately believe that it can, and should, be ended. Achieving this will require a movement that creates systemic change. A change that focuses on prevention rather than management. And one that ensures all young people have truly affordable options to live and thrive independently.”

William has visited all the centers that are piloting the Homewards project, which aims to unite concerned agencies, charities and professionals to come up with new solutions to tackle the problem. It’s intended that the best practices and new findings will then be widely shared.

Next week, William heads to Cape Town, South Africa for the annual awards ceremony supporting his Earthshot Prize, which focuses on another main pillar of his public work — tackling climate change and the environmental damage being done to the world. The Earthshot Prize aims to combat harm being done to the planet by sourcing and promoting innovative new ideas across the world.
