Today the father-of-three appeared in good spirits as he helped out at the centre, chopping vegetables and helping to serve food at lunchtime.  

William has become the figurehead of The Passage, an organisation which has helped more than 130,000 people in crisis over almost 40 years through its resource centre, homelessness prevention projects and innovative accommodation services. 

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales and patron of The Passage, welcomed the announcement ahead of the duke's visit to the charity's St Vincent's Centre in Westminster.

He said: 'I know the duke is deeply committed to working with those most in need, such as the thousands of people The Passage has helped off the streets.

The prince chatted happily as he helped prepare the vegetables to be served as part of lunch at The Passage. The royal has made a number of public and private visits to the centre

The Duke of Cambridge shared a light-hearted moment with one of the volunteers as he prepared to prepare the carrots in the The Passage's London kitchen

Prince William looked very comfortable in the kitchen, rolling up his sleeves before chopping and slicing the carrots

'It is crucial that everyone in our society, especially the poorest, are treated with respect, dignity and kindness, and are given the opportunities to fulfil their potential in life; this announcement is a tangible symbol of that commitment.'

William last visited the St Vincent's Centre with wife Kate in the run-up to Christmas, when he spoke out against the drug spice after hearing about its devastating effect on the capital's homeless.

The duke told Mick Clarke, chief executive of The Passage: 'The fact it was a legal high and that young people were allowed to take it and it leads to addiction is just terrible.'

After helping prepare the vegetables William joined volunteers in serving up the food

The synthetic drug is seen as the biggest challenge the charity faces as it is cheap, readily available and can exacerbate existing problems like poor mental health.

Following the announcement Mr Clarke said: 'During His Royal Highness's visits to The Passage, it has been very clear that he has a deep concern for those affected by homelessness and a real interest in our work.

'For His Royal Highness to further express his support for The Passage's work by becoming our royal patron is a tremendous honour, and a testament to how much he genuinely cares about this issue.'

Later William will join volunteers at the charity helping to prepare and serve lunch in what will be the first of several engagements for the Cambridges.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
