ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - Russell Brand wants to provide permanent housing for Windsor's homeless population as a wedding gift to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The outspoken comedian has launched a campaign to rid the English town of homelessness ahead of the royal wedding in May after a local council leader urged the police to clear rough sleepers from the streets.
Brand is hoping that Slough Borough Council will buy an existing building to give to homeless charity SHOC (Slough Homeless Our Concern), which supports vulnerable people.
In a video posted on his Twitter account, the British star said: "You know Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are getting married, and that councilor guy said 'We've got to cleanse all the homeless people off the streets of Windsor' in some terrifying sort of eugenics, genocide, burn the books, burn the people-type language.
"One of the charities that will be affected by that are SHOC, a charity that I've worked with for ages. They provide daycare for homeless people and loads of advice and clothes and help vital clothes and help."
Harry, 33, and Markle are poised to tie the knot on May 19 at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
