British LGBT awards: Prince William attacks homophobic bullying while accepting Celebrity Straight Ally award

Prince William has said "nobody should be bullied for their sexuality" as he was recognised for his support for the LGBT community.

He told the British LGBT Awards on Friday evening via a video message: "It's so important to be proud of the person you are."

The Duke of Cambridge was named "straight ally of the year" and was among several celebrities given awards.

TV presenter Clare Balding and diver Tom Daley were also named winners.

Prince William, who appeared on the cover of gay magazine Attitude last year, made the video message ahead of the ceremony in London's Grand Connaught Rooms.

Prince William has backed a fundraising campaign for a memorial to recognise the bravery of police officers killed in the line of duty.

Ahead of the campaign's launch on Wednesday, the Duke of Cambridge said it was “high time” a focal point for remembrance existed for officers.

The UK Police Memorial will bear the names of more than 1,400 police staff who died on duty including Keith Palmer, who was killed in the Westminster terror attack.

Mr Jenkins said: "It was absolute chaos. People were screaming and running in different directions.

"I was just trying to feed back to communications as much as I could."

He added: "Prince William was asking us about what happened. He's a good lad.

"He was showing us respect and showing us gratitude for what we did."

Prince William and Irish PM attend Battle of Messines centenary commemoration - Belfast Newsletter

 

[Rudolph]

A MAJOR joint UK-Irish ceremony has begun in Belgium to mark the centenary of a First World War battle where unionist and nationalist soldiers from Ireland fought side by side in the trenches.

The Duke of Cambridge and Irish premier Enda Kenny are at the Island of Ireland Peace Park in Messines in Flanders, to commemorate the first day of the week-long battle.

William and Mr Kenny have been joined by Princess Astrid of Belgium and Lord Dunlop, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Northern Ireland Office, to honour the soldiers who fought in the battle.

They laid wreaths at the foot of the Round Tower memorial, before meeting invited guests including descendants of those who fought at the Battle.

During the garden party, William mentioned a Scandinavian tour this fall

Other than the British Monarchy, I am not familiar with who belongs to which royal family. Which families would this Scandinavian tour involve? Would it involve Mette-Marit? She is my next favorite royal after the Queen, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry.

 

[Curryong]

I seem to remember William mentioned Norway in part of the conversation. If the tour involves Norway then Mette Marit as Crown Princess (along with her husband Crown Prince Haakon) would probably be meeting the Cambridges.
