威廉王子聽聞這樣的提問，不假思索的說：「絕對支持。」但他隨即補充自己的擔憂說，孩子可能會面臨群眾的抨擊與歧視。「我唯一擔心的一件事是他們- 特別是我的孩子所扮演的皇室成員角色- 將會是如何被解讀與看待」儘管孩子們都很小，威廉王子說，「所以凱特和我時常會談論這個議題，確保孩子們身心靈健全，確保他們做好準備。為了幫助理解各種未來可能發生的議題，我認為溝通對於所有事情都是如此重要，你必須從小就談論與教育，確保如何相互支持以及如何了解整個過程。」

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share some new photographs of their family as they visited the RHS Back to Nature Garden at the #ChelseaFlowerShow on Sunday afternoon. The photographs were taken by @mattporteous. The #RHSChelsea Back to Nature Garden, designed by The Duchess and award-winning landscape architects Andrée Davies and Adam White of Davies White Landscape Architects, is a woodland setting for families and communities to come together and connect with nature. Her Royal Highness is a strong advocate for the proven benefits the outdoors has on physical and mental health, and the positive impact that nature and the environment can have on childhood development in particular. Over the past months, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have helped The Duchess gather moss, leaves and twigs to help decorate @The_RHS Back to Nature Garden. Hazel sticks collected by the family were also used to make the garden’s den. The Duchess told Monty Don in an interview for the BBC: “I really feel that nature and being interactive outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental wellbeing, particularly for young children. I really hope that this woodland that we have created really inspires families, kids and communities to get outside, enjoy nature and the outdoors, and spend quality time together.”

威廉王子說：「讓我擔心的事，不是因為他們是否為同性戀，而是其他人會如何反應和感受這個事實，然後壓力就會出現在他們身上。」威廉王子的擔心不是沒有來由，就在一年前，女王伊麗莎白二世的第三代表弟伊芙蒙巴頓勳爵Lord Ivor Mountbatten宣布與他的伴侶詹姆斯科伊爾James Coyle結婚後，的確在保守的英國皇室裡掀起不小波瀾。這對夫婦於去年9月結婚，這是皇室成員有史以來第一對同性婚禮。
