For the first time in Royal Family history, Prince William spoke out against anti-LGBT bullying and homophobia. The future King, visited a school today and provided them with tips to prevent bullying.

Prince William and specialist staff from the Diana Award, which focuses on inspiring young people to become social active, said β€œI would start on that side [comfort the victim and end up here [confront the bully].”

Throughout history, the Royals avoided LGBT equality, and have never spoke in favor of same-sex marriage. But, a Kensington Palace spokesperson said β€œ He [Prince William] hopes it will help de-stigmatize bullying issues in schools.” In addition, Prince William hopes to empower children to stand together to fight bullying so that no one suffers in silence.
