Kate Middleton to sleep rough on London streets for charity

Kate Middleton will be sleeping rough on the streets of London for a night in the near future.

The Duchess of Cambridge will take part in Centre Point's Sleep Out campaign in order to raise awareness of London's rise of homeless people.



She will be joined by Loose Women's Lisa Maxwell, who recently asked Middleton to take part after meeting at a party.

"I work with Centre Point and William's our patron. We had a little do and they both came down," Maxwell told The Mirror.

"She asked me about sleeping out, so I said, 'Next time I do it, you're doing it with me. No excuses, he's done it'. She said, 'You're on'."

Prince William had previously spent a night living on the streets in 2009 for the charity, being joined by Centre Point's chief executive Seyi Obakin near Blackfriars Bridge.

Princess Diana was also a patron of the charity, which aims to improve the lives of homeless people throughout the UK.
