A cold alley in central London is a far cry from a palace - but it was the spot Prince William chose to sleep recently to highlight the plight of homeless British teenagers. He spent a chilly night near Blackfriars Bridge last week with Seyi Obakin, the chief executive officer of British homeless charity Centrepoint.
William is the charity's patron.
A photograph shows William, who is 27, in jeans and a gray hooded sweatshirt, still recognisable despite his casual attire.
In a post to the charity's Web site on Tuesday, Obakin said they slept on cardboard boxes in an alleyway. He said temperatures that night fell to 4C .
Obakin said William wanted to "raise awareness of the problem and to be able to understand a little better" what homeless teenagers go through.
