(LONDON, December 20, 2025) – Prince George, the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, joined his father in preparing Christmas lunch for 150 people at the Passage, a London-based homelessness charity.

- Prince George participated in preparing Christmas lunch at the Passage, a homelessness charity.
- Prince William and Prince George worked alongside each other, with prince William preparing sprouts and Prince George assisting with Yorkshire puddings.
- The visit included a poignant moment where Prince William pointed out his mother, Princess Diana’s, signature in the charity’s guest book.
Prince George “very much” wanted to get involved and “get stuck in,” according to Mick Clarke, chief executive of the Passage.”So it was really about,’Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in?’ And he very much was,” Clarke said.
the young prince’s enthusiasm mirrored that of his father, Clarke noted. “very much like his dad, actually – just wanted to get stuck in and help,” he said.
Clarke described Prince George as a “lovely kid” who showed genuine interest in the charity’s work and the experiences of those it serves.”He just really seemed very interested in the work that we do and particularly in talking to people who have used our services,” Clarke stated.
A Family Affair
The preparation of the Christmas meal involved a kind competition between father and son. “William was on the sprouts, getting his sprouts ready so they could go into the steamer, and Prince george was helping with the Yorkshire puddings,” Clarke explained.
the visit held particular importance as Prince William showed Prince George his mother’s signature in the Passage’s guest book,recalling her first visit to the charity in 1993. “He described the signing of the book with Princess Diana’s name as a ‘lovely, gorgeous moment – I think particularly with Prince William pointing out to George, ‘This is my mum’s signature. This was the first time that she brought me here,'” Clarke said.
“It kind of felt full circle, really – 1993 through to 2025, with William bringing George,” Clarke added.
Clarke said the family’s visit appeared to be a deliberate effort to expose their children to life outside the palace and emphasize the importance of supporting vulnerable members of society. “It seemed as though Prince George’s family were trying to show their children life outside the palace and how it was crucial that ‘the most vulnerable in society are supported and looked after,'” he said.
the visit to the Passage occurred on the same day as the annual Royal Family Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace, highlighting a contrast between royal tradition and charitable engagement.
Why It Matters
This visit underscores the Prince of wales’s continued commitment to raising awareness about homelessness and supporting organizations like the Passage. The inclusion of Prince George in this charitable work signals a potential future role for the young prince in advocating for social causes and connecting with communities beyond the royal sphere. The gesture of bringing Prince George to a place his mother frequented adds a layer of emotional resonance and continuity to the royal family’s p
