Prince William Spends Night on London Streets - AP

LONDON (AP) -- A cold alley in central London is a far cry from a palace -- but it was the spot Prince William chose to sleep to highlight the plight of homeless British teenagers.

''I cannot, after one night, even begin to imagine what it must be like to sleep rough on London's streets night after night,'' William said Tuesday. ''Poverty, mental illness, drug and alcohol dependancy and family breakdown cause people to become and then stay homeless.

''I hope that by deepening my understanding of the issue, I can help do my bit to help the most vulnerable on our streets.'' - Prince William Spends Night on London Streets
