Guests heard stories of how mentoring has changed people's lives for the better, helping them develop practical skills to have a strong impact on the local and global community.

\"The Duke believes that every child should be given the opportunity and support they need to fulfill their potential, regardless of their background or situation,\" the Palace said in a statement. \"Through a program of public and private visits, His Royal Highness regularly supports projects that enable children from disadvantaged backgrounds to build their skills and confidence.\"

The charity visit took place one day after Prince William delighted a small group well-wishers who had gathered to hold a vigil outside Kensington Palace to mark what would have been Diana's 58th birthday. William shook their hands and posed for photographs, with one of his fans describing the moment as \"very emotional.\"

'William told me he knew we'd been coming here for years and thanked us for what we were doing for his mother,\" 59-year-old Londoner John Loughrey told MailOnline.\" \"I'm still shaking now. I feel very emotional.\"
