The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Although some questions have been raised over a potential overstepping into politics, the Prince of Wales's project will inevitably sit well within the "Overton Window" of acceptability by the public. At the heart of the plan is a good man, with a sense of duty, wishing to give back to the UK. It's only right to wish anyone who is aiming at making such an impact on society luck in their endeavors.

Establishment-critical narrative

William's project is yet another example of the fundamental issues with British society. Although William is right to state homelessness should not exist in the UK, there's a deep sense of irony with the message coming from the voice of a billionaire prince who receives the British public's money. The UK could, if they wanted to, already eradicate the issue in a heartbeat. The sad reality is that the establishment and its status quo hold little interest in eradicating poverty.
