I come with no other agenda than trying to help people where I can... I see that as part of my role'

William, in a clip from an ITV documentary about his ambitious Homewards initiative, said he views his royal role as attempting to influence and help where he can.

The future king was quizzed about criticism of the scheme, which is designed to eradicate homelessness in six locations around the UK.

The interviewer asked: "There will be some people who might question whether you're the right person to lead this project and its efforts to end homelessness. How would you respond to that?"

William replied: "I think everyone having a right to a safe and stable home benefits us all. I come with no other agenda than desperately trying to help people who are in need.
