Prince William goes undercover selling charity newspaper in Central London
KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 — Prince William surprised tourists and Londoners yesterday when he was seen working undercover as a newspaper seller in Central London, reported the BBC.
The Duke of Cambridge swapped his suit and tie for a red vest and cap as he approached passersby to sell the UK newspaper, The Big Issue.
The Big Issue is an award-winning magazine that offers work to the homeless by allowing them to sell its papers for £2.50 (RM13.74).
Its homeless vendors are usually dressed in a uniform featuring a signature red vest and cap.
Londoners and tourists were surprised by the humble approach of the Prince, asking them if they would like to purchase a magazine.
Given Prince Williams's fame, it was only a matter of hours before the public took photos and selfies with the future King.
Black cab driver, Neil Kramer, posted a picture of himself, the prince, and another Big Issue vendor.
Prince William often works with charity organisations like The Big Issue and Centrepoint UK to raise awareness on homelessness.
In 2015, he helped a previously homeless Journalist student, Sophia Kichou, by landing her an exclusive interview with him on The Big Issue.
