Wednesday’s star-studded gala was held to open Centrepoint's Apprenticeship House in London. Centrepoint was one of the first patronages William took on in 2005.

He chose the organization after visiting many projects with mother Princess Diana. William has been a committed supporter and has camped out overnight on the street, made several private visits, and championed the young people that the charity supports.

His style change was noticed by singer Rita Ora who complimented him. William’s cousin Princess Beatrice also attended the gala to celebrate Centrepoint’s half-century of success.

The charity has helped men and women aged 16 to 25 to lead independent lives after being homelessness. Beatrice wore a long black jacket over a floral dress; accessorizing it with a whimsical headband.
