Prince William became the first member of the British Royal Family to visit an LGBTQ charity when he stepped out to The Albert Kennedy Trust (AKT) on Wednesday (June 26)?after Lady Gaga encouraged him to do so.
While visiting the charity?s home base in London, the future King was asked how he would feel if Prince George, Princess Charlotte or Prince Louis came out as LGBTQ.
?Do you know what" I?ve been giving that some thought recently because a couple of other parents said that to me as well. I think you really don?t start thinking about that until you are a parent, and I think ? obviously, absolutely fine by me,? he said.
?The one thing I?d be worried about is how they ? particularly the roles my children fill ? is how is that going to be interpreted and seen. So Catherine and I have been doing a lot of talking about it to make sure they were prepared.? AKT was founded in 1989 after a teenager of the same name fell to his death in Manchester while he was being chased because he was gay. He had been homeless at the time after running away from a children?s home where he had been living. The charity runs support centres and helps bring LGBTQ youth off the street, having given 6,075 nights of safe accommodation to people in 2017, according to the Daily Mail. It counts Ian McKellen among its patrons.
