Big Issue customer’s interaction with Prince William
Donning a red seller’s vest and hat, the Duke of Cambridge was seen dishing out copies of the magazine in Rochester Row, Westminster this week.
Retired Met Police chief superintendent Matthew Gardner shared photos of William on his Linkedin account.
He revealed the sweet moment
He said: “Prince William asked my brother-in-law If he wanted to buy the Big Issue, to which he replied ‘I have no change’.
“At this point William produced a mobile card machine… you cannot teach that!
“Priceless, or should I say ‘princely’.”
Mr Gardner said: “My brother-in-law was in London today and saw a celebrity, so he took a photo at a distance.
“The celebrity saw the ‘covert surveillance’ effort and crossed the road to investigate further.
“What an honour to have a private moment with our future king who was humble and working quietly in the background, helping the most needy.
“These ‘silent gestures’ often go unrecognised.”
