Overview
- Prince William visited Langstane Housing Association in Aberdeen on Tuesday and spent time helping move furniture and prepare a King Street flat for a vulnerable tenant.
- Staff and volunteers packed and handed over welcome kits of household essentials during the stop, part of the Homewards campaign to furnish homes for people at risk of homelessness.
- A short clip of the visit was posted on X and circulated widely after the Prince was shown a hairdryer and replied, "Some of us don't need hairdryers."
- Online reactions quoted by tabloid reports were largely positive, with viewers praising his humour and personable interaction with staff, residents and volunteers.
- The visit both delivered direct practical support to one tenant and raised public attention for Homewards and local partners like Langstane, which could help boost awareness and backing for similar housing work.
