i do joke about him being dumb and illiterate but i do actually think hes smart.

He makes some odd and pretty reckless decisions (following random animals into danger, going back to prison bc he promised he would, crossing the sword bridge Like That then trying to fight a duel to the death while bleeding out...) but that’s less stupidity and more a disregard for his physical safety, which is like, his thing. Hes actually quite sly, especially in the vulgate.

For instance, he uses a loophole to get knighted by guinevere by getting her to gift him a sword. He also leverages galehauts promise to him to stop the war, saving arthurs kindgom from certain destruction. In knight of the cart, he gets out of a promise to “lie with” a lady by literally lying down next to her, technically fulfilling his promise. in the roman van walewein, hes the only member of court to correctly deduce how gringolet came to return with a stranger. it is kind of implied in knight of the cart that he cant read? but in all fairness thats not a measure of innate intelligence. by the fall of camelot he can at least because he reads gawains letter.

The Prince of Wales’s drive to end homelessness has given charities the confidence to challenge politicians on the issue, experts working on his Homewards project have said.

Six months into the ambitious five-year programme to eradicate homelessness, the Prince’s support has enabled charities to change their own rhetoric and to challenge MPs in a way they have never done before.

Matt Downie, CEO of Crisis, told The Telegraph that the Prince’s involvement had already achieved public and political engagement on a scale “substantively different” to anything done before.

“Having somebody with the megaphone that he’s got and being able to actually articulate the cause in those terms, is something we will never have achieved,” he said.

“What it gives us is the confidence to use that rhetoric. The confidence to challenge Suella Braverman, for example, who said homelessness was a lifestyle choice.

“It’s one thing for a homeless charity to say, ‘Well, of course it isn’t.’ It’s another being able to say the heir to the throne is clear that this is not a lifestyle choice, it can be ended. So the conversation has moved on.”

“What he’s managed to do in one fell swoop is more than our whole sector that has been working on it for decades,” Mr Downie added.

“And that is to talk about ending homelessness rather than managing it and to be really clear that this is a solvable problem. I can’t tell you what that gives us in terms of power.”

He said the initiative had already had such a public impact that it had reframed the way the sector would approach the next government.

“Obviously, we are heading into a general election year and it means that the way in which we will be approaching the potential next government, whichever that might be, is far more aspirational,” he said.

“What we might have been doing previously is saying, ‘We’d like this specific bit of policy changed, or this particular bit of funding increased or whatever,’ but what we’re actually saying is, ‘We now need a full scale plan for the ending of all forms of homelessness.’

“And we can say that with a real sense that it’s not just us out there saying that, it happens to be Prince William as well.”

Local leads, who will coordinate the project at each location, have been chosen and the next steps will be for each to develop their coalitions and create a “concrete plan of action.”

Resources and expertise will be matched in order to devise solutions and move into “delivery mode” and housing-led interventions will be mapped out.

Prof Pete Mackie, an expert in homeless prevention from Cardiff University, said there was huge enthusiasm following the launch event in June.

“Town hall” events that followed in each location were brimming with a “great mix” of people keen to get on board, from the private sector, housing associations, health and criminal justice professionals.

The team was “inundated” with offers from individuals, organisations and businesses to support each of the six locations, Bournemouth, Newport, Aberdeen, Northern Ireland, Sheffield and Lambeth.

The Prince continues to be “really actively involved”, asking for progress updates and checking in with his team at least once a week.

“He’s always asking how he can support the locations and move partners and players along,” Ms Laurence added. “He’s heavily involved.”

So this was really hard to pick because I have a bunch of silly and fun fics that would be great to see play out just for the laughs! But I went with this one because watching the team play laser tag would definitely be entertaining!

Thank you so much for this my sweet friend! Sending you love and hugs and hope you have the best day❤️❤️❤️
