“You should be proud of the person you are, and you have nothing to be ashamed of” - Prince William

“No one should be bullied for their sexuality or any other reason and no one should have to put up with the kind of hate that these young people have endured in their lives” - Prince William

In June 2019, he visited the Albert Kennedy Trust @aktcharity, a charity supporting homeless LGBTQ+ youth https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌈" title="Rainbow" aria-label="Emoji: Rainbow"> It was during this visit that he said he would be absolutely fine with his own children being gay but that he’d be worried about the public scrutiny they would face.

Prince William’s mother Diana, Princess of Wales was also an avid supporter of LGBTQ+ causes. She’s credited to helping break the stigma around AIDS during the 80s. Her shaking hands with AIDS patients was “life-changing for LGBT people across the world” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Purple heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple heart">
