“Do you know what, I’ve been giving that some thought recently because a couple of other parents said that to me as well,” William said.
“I think, you really don’t start thinking about that until you are a parent, and I think — obviously absolutely fine by me.”
Chatting with the young people at the Albert Kennedy Trust, the future King of England revealed that he and the Duchess of Cambridge have discussed the added pressure their children would feel like as an LGBT member of the royal family.
“The one thing I’d be worried about is how they, particularly the roles my children fill, is how that is going to be interpreted and seen,” he said. “So Catherine and I have been doing a lot of talking about it to make sure they were prepared.”
Prince William continued, “I think communication is so important with everything, in order to help understand it you’ve got to talk a lot about stuff and make sure how to support each other and how to go through the process. It worries me not because of them being gay, it worries me as to how everyone else will react and perceive it and then the pressure is then on them.”
