William put on the spot as he plays role of Beckham
THE DUKE of Cambridge found himself cast as former England football captain David Beckham when he played the popular Who Am I? game with young people being helped by homeless charity Centrepoint.
With a blue Post-it note emblazoned with star’s name stuck to his forehead, the future king made light work of guessing who he was.
William, who is Centrepoint’s royal patron, met teenagers and young people being helped by the organisation when he visited its hostel in Northolt, London, with the organisation’s chief executive Seyi Obakin. Next month the Duke is expected to take the first call of Centrepoint’s new national helpline when it launches to support young rough sleepers wanting urgent advice.
The charity hopes to be able to reach some of the tens of thousands of young homeless people who contact local authorities each year.
William’s game partner was Sherihan Sharif, a 22-year-old student, who, like others in the room, has been supported by Centrepoint, and the famous name stuck to her head was the world’s fastest man over 100 metres, Olympic champion Usain Bolt.
The young people in the room were taking part in a presentation skills session as part of a Centrepoint Workwise programme, run to help get the former homeless into employment.
Centrepoint’s chief executive struggled to get the famous name on his forehead – Leonardo DiCaprio.
