Prince William has claimed that homelessness touches the lives of "far too many people" at a Homewards event during a visit to Aberdeen.

Speaking at the event, the Prince of Wales said: "Homelessness is a complex societal issue and one that touches the lives of far too many people in our society. However, I truly believe that it can be ended.

"I created Homewards because I wanted us to look at the issue of homelessness through a different lens, to inspire a movement to prevent people from ever experiencing homelessness in the first place."
