Generous George! Prince, 12, prepares Christmas food for homeless – and reacts to Diana’s signature
At the end of the visit, George and William signed the visitors’ book.
Although Clarke was not present at the Diana visit, he has worked with William for many years at the charity.
He said: ‘We looked before and the page that I had from William’s very first visit with his mum. As you’ll see in the photo, it has Diana 1993, William 1993. And there was a gap, you know, kind of underneath it. And so we’d asked William, do you think George would like to sign this?
‘And he was like, yeah, that would be great. So that was really lovely because it was also a lovely moment where William was able to say to George “That’s my mum. And this was the very first day that she took me to The Passage”. And it was a lovely moment in terms of almost coming full circle from 1993 to the end of 2025.
‘And it felt a bit like a proud dad moment, I thought, which was really, really lovely to see, because William is incredibly genuine and authentic, passionate about this issue and loves the passage.
‘And it just really felt that he was really proud to say, look, this is a place that I’m passionate about. I’m really pleased to be able to share that with you and show it to you.
‘He [George] was fascinated with it. He was like, “Wow. OK”.’
Clarke said that William and George were at The Passage for ‘around an hour’ during their visit on Tuesday before leaving to join the rest of the royal family for a Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace.
