Prince William has revealed the exact date of the launch of his new documentary, which is focused on ending homelessness, at the end of the month.
The two-part documentary, Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, will air on ITV and ITVX at 9 p.m. on October 30 and 31.
The series, filmed over 12 months, will explore the first year of the Prince of Wales Homewards programme, which aims to demonstrate that ending homelessness is possible.
The miniseries, produced by Mindhouse and directed by BAFTA-winning Leo Burley, features powerful stories of those currently facing homelessness or who have experienced the issue, alongside some life-changing solutions.

It focuses on six locations across the UK where the future king hopes to help the communities, insisting: “I can’t do it on my own”.
The locations are Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Lambeth in London, Newport, Northern Irelands and Sheffield.
Prince William said: “I come with no other agenda than desperately trying to help people who are in need.
“I see that as part of my role, why else would I be here if I’m not using this role properly to influence and help people where I can.”
It’s after some critics have questioned his work to reduce homelessness as inconsistent with his privileged life, in a clip from the ITV documentary.
He added: “I think everyone having a right to a safe and stable home benefits us all.
He announced the highly anticipated release date on The Prince and Princess of Wales’s official Instagram account in a joined post with Homewards.
He explained that the first year was about “building the foundations for success.”
The Prince of Wales attended last night’s CentrePoint Awards in London and praised “inspirational” young people who have transformed their lives after overcoming homelessness.
