Sharon and Kelly Osborne return to TV to raise £4.5million for Prince William’s charity
Sharon and Kelly Osbourne are set to return to TV to raise £4.5million for Prince William’s homelessness charity Centrepoint, it has been revealed.
The pair will celebrate The Osbournes show in a promotion for Omaze, which is giving away a £5million mansion in a prize draw.
The donation from the Osbournes will be received by the future King’s charity, which shelters the homeless in London.
Kelly, 41, said: “I said I’d only do this if the charity side was really meaningful. I wanted Omaze to match the value of the house and they pretty much have.

“I think William will make an amazing King and I really hope he’s pleased with the donation. That amount will completely change the face of the charity.
“I hope to meet William at a gala in September and I have so many ideas I’d like to tell him about. He has such clarity and goes to the grassroots of the centres to help and support them.
“I won’t rest until we end homelessness, which is a pledge the future King holds,” she told the Mail.
The advert will air next week and will feature Sharon and Kelly touring the Georgian-style Omaze house and recalling scenes from their own £15million home in Buckinghamshire.
Centrepoint was founded in 1969, and supports thousands of young people every year.
The CEO of Centrepoint said: “Kelly and Sharon’s generosity, together with their commitment to ending youth homelessness, has made possible a truly inspiring campaign.”

Sources close to the charity say that William has been shocked by the scale of the fundraising by Kelly.
William is a patron of Centrepoint, as was his mother, Princess Diana, and has spent a major part of his public work battling homelessness.
The Osbournes are no strangers to the Royal Family, as the late Ozzy Osbourne met King Charles multiple times, with the monarch writing to Sharon last year to express his condolences after his death last July.
William celebrated 20 years as the patron of the charity last December when he visited their new London headquarters.
During the occasion, the Prince of Wales worked alongside staff members and young people who have benefited from Centrepoint’s support.
He contributed to the creation of a new artwork titled the ‘Wall of Hope’, a collaborative mural developed by young people together with artist Lanré Olagoke MBE.

The completed piece honoured the organisation’s history and its goal of eliminating homelessness among young people.
The mural’s co-creator, Lanré Olagoke, is a self-taught artist who has personal experience of homelessness.
