LONDON. United Kingdom (Reuters) — Britain’s Prince Harry visited a young person’s hostel in north London on Thursday (January 26), as part of his continued focus exploring how sport can be used to help communities.

The Royal met those who are engaged with The Running Charity, which is the UK’s first running-orientated programme aimed at aiding the homeless and vulnerable young people.

The programme offers regular running-based activities with fitness professionals as coaches, showing benefits of the sport as a motivational tool.

During his visit, Prince Harry met with the CEO of charity partner Depaul UK, who showed the 32-year-old a picture of his mother Princess Diana at the hostel in 1995.

After the Prince met several people at the hostel, they then recreated the picture in the same location at the hostel.
