Robert said he thought this was ‘quite good' - adding 'at least he’s human.’
The centre - which is run by Light Project Peterborough - has helped house 130 rough sleepers since the coronavirus lockdown began.
During the visit, Prince William said Britain would ‘never have a better chance’ to solve its homelessness crisis and urged the country to ‘be brave and a bit bold’ to address the issue.
The royal commented, ‘I'm really hoping - I mean this pandemic has been truly horrendous for everyone - I'm really hoping that the slivers of positivity and the slivers of goodness that might come out of this is in the homelessness side of things.
‘You'll never have a better chance nationally to crack homelessness and do something properly.’
