After Prince Harry announced his successful settlement against News Group Newspapers, Prince William decided to visit Liverpool, specifically Toxteth, to highlight community initiatives that support local young people.
The Prince of Wales made several stops along the way, including a visit to Cycle of Life, a non-profit cycling organization dedicated to helping young people from different backgrounds improve their physical and mental health, as well as increase their employment opportunities.
The organization that Prince William visited was founded in 2020 with the initial goal of promoting equitable access to cycling. Over time, it has expanded its work to also improve youth confidence, foster relationships, and facilitate access to the city, as reported by William’s office at Kensington Palace.

During his visit to Liverpool, Prince William sported a casual look in navy blue chinos, a forest green jacket, and khaki sneakers, keeping the same beard he has worn in recent months.
On Thursday, the future king also headed to Tiber, where he met with members of the Tiber Youth Steering Group. His goal was to learn how they came together to spearhead the construction of a lively community center, which has attracted more than 200 young people since its opening in 2005.
Upon his arrival, Prince William chatted with members of the group, listening to their experiences and requests. He also had the opportunity to interact with young people at the adjacent Football Centre, which, according to Kensington Palace, welcomes more than 1,200 children and young people each week.
Although his brother’s legal victory against the British press had made headlines, the Prince of Wales made no mention of it during his visit. However, his uncle, Earl Charles Spencer, did address the issue, congratulating Harry and stressing that Princess Diana would be proud of her son.
Earl Charles Spencer praised his nephew’s legal triumph on Instagram, stating, “It takes an enormous amount of guts to take on major media organizations like this, and incredible tenacity to win against them.” The earl added that Diana “would be immensely touched by this, I’m sure, and also rightly proud.”
Thus, Prince William focused on community work, while his brother celebrated an important personal triumph. This situation highlights the different approaches within the British royal family.
