The Governor of Cambridge took pictures with tourists, members of the public and a taxi driver
The Governor of Cambridge was once seen in central London quietly helping to sell Big Issue magazines.
Matthew Gardner shared photos of Prince William on Rochester Row, Westminster, on his social media account.
He said his daughter-in-law, Richard Hannant, had seen what he thought was a celebrity and had taken a long photograph.
Prince William crossed the street and spoke to Mr. Hannant while wearing a unique Big Issue uniform.
The magazine is for sale to the homeless, the unemployed, and those in need of money to avoid debt, The Big Issue says.
Vendors are offered five free magazines, which are now on sale for £ 3, and additional copies are priced at £ 1.50.
Richard Hannant was surprised when Prince William was spotted a few days after celebrating the Platinum Queen Jubilee
Mr Hannant, the property manager, has always said he was on his way back to the office when he saw the royalty among a small group of people on the street.
The 47-year-old, who lives in Bath but works in London, said: “She was amazing, she was very friendly.”
He also said: “I think what struck me was that we had just gone through a major Jubilee event and days later he was there to support a charity like Big Issue.
“I think that was the thing that I thought was the most amazing because one is a world event, this is just a [low] event, standing on the side of the road with a man. homeless.
“I was very surprised that he was able to move from one big event to something so important.”

In his social media report, Mr Gardner wrote next to a photo of his daughter-in-law and the prince: “What a privilege to have a secret time with our humble future king working quietly later, helping the most needy.
These ‘quiet gestures’ are often not recognized.
“The culmination of this extraordinary event was when Prince William asked my brother-in-law if he wanted to buy the Big Thing, to which he replied ‘I have no change’.
“By this time William had introduced a mobile card machine … you can’t teach that!
“I have no price, or say, ‘prince’.”
Lithuanian tourists Vitalijus and Laura Zuikauskas also met the prince on their trip to London to celebrate the Platinum Queen’s Jubilee.
Mr. Zuikauskas stated: “We bought the magazine and had a warm conversation. “We wished him well and shook hands, and we were delighted that the Royal Family cared for the most ordinary people.”
He added that the future king had a “warm personality” and they were “very happy and very happy” to meet him.
Another social media post about black driver Neil Kramer also showed Prince William in uniform posing for a photo with another Big Issue dealer.
He said: “I was riding in my Rochester Row taxi in Westminster when I was approached by a salesman who identified himself as William and asked if I would like to buy a copy of The Big Issue.
“When I realized who she was, I was shocked but said yes.
“Then he introduced the other men with him and we had a good 15-minute conversation about the charity and its work.”
Mr Kramer said the prince asked him if he was a regular reader, and he replied that there was an opportunity to buy the magazine when he was in a position or charged.

He also said that Prince William was romantic and well-mannered, and that he never forgot his name.
