"Our future king was humble and working quietly in the background, helping the most needy. These 'silent gestures' often go unrecognised."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge previously visited homeless charity Centrepoint in 2014, and the couple also went to The Passage homeless centre in Westminster in 2018. Photos of the Duke of Cambridge have been shared on social media of the future king dressed in the magazine’s distinctive red official vendor tabard and hat. Retired Met Police Chief Supt Matthew Gardner shared photos taken of William on Rochester Row in Westminster after the royal crossed the road and spoke to him.

The prince said people could buy the magazine with a card reader so no change was no problem.

There was only one other man with him, who was also wearing a Big Issue uniform and who I think may have been homeless. Mr Hannant said: ‘It was an amazing and quite strange experience, thinking about how I was chatting with this future king. I found the whole experience quite uplifting, he was very engaging and charming. He had to take the photo but didn’t know how to work my phone – so Prince William stepped in to give him a quick lesson’. He cracked what was going on, however, and went to speak to the man, who realised it was actually the second in line to the throne. One man, who thought he had seen a ‘celebrity’, tried to surreptitiously take a photo with the prince in the background.

The Duke of Cambridge was seen wearing the Big Issue uniform and selling copies of the magazine.

He said: "I was charging up my taxi on Rochester Row in Westminster when I was approached by a vendor who introduced himself as William and asked would I like to buy a copy of the Big Issue. Mr Kramer said the prince asked him if he was a regular reader, to which he replied there was always an opportunity to buy the magazine when on a rank or charging up. He added the future king had a "warm personality" and they were "excited and really happy" to meet him. "The finale to this unique occasion was when Prince William asked my brother-in-law If he wanted to buy the Big Issue, to which he replied 'I have no change'. In his social media post, Mr Gardner wrote alongside the photo of his brother-in-law and the prince: "What an honour to have a private moment with our future king who was humble and working quietly in the background, helping the most needy. Mr Hannant, a property manager, has since said he was on his way back to the office when he spotted the royal among a small group of people in the street.

Duke of Cambridge went undercover to sell magazine that helps homeless people - but it wasn't long before his identity was discovered.

He promised her an interview, which was published in the Big Issue in 2015. “And bear in mind one day he’ll be King, he didn’t wait for us to step across to him - he crossed the road to us, like he’d seen a friend.” The Big Issue magazine was launched in 1991 in response to the growing number of rough sleepers on the streets of the capital. The Duke’s stint on the streets was the latest in a series of low-profile jobs he has undertaken in aid of the homeless. “I was on the other side of the road to him, and I waved over at him,” he added. He was first taken to a homeless shelter by his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, at the tender age of 11, a visit that left a “deep and lasting impression” and instilled values he has carried ever since.
