Prince William has said he would "fully support" his children if they were gay, but admitted he would "worry" about the added pressures they would face.
It was something he had thought about since becoming a parent, he said.
"I wish we lived in a world where it's really normal and cool, but particularly for my family, and the position that we are in, that's the bit I am nervous about," he said.
The duke was speaking to young people at a LGBT youth charity in London.
The Albert Kennedy Trust (AKT) supports LGBT young people who are at risk of homelessness.
The duke said he backed "whatever decisions" his children made, but added: "It does worry me from a parent point of view.
"How many barriers you know, hateful words, persecution, all that and discrimination that might come, that's the bit that really troubles me.
"But that's for all of us to try and help correct and make sure we can put that to the past and not come back to that sort of stuff."
Analysis
By Ben Hunte, BBC News LGBT Correspondent
This is a huge moment for LGBT people around the world.
For a member of the British Royal Family to give such an endorsement to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights, and their fight for equality, is a big deal, especially in a time when the visibility of LGBT people is being continually questioned.
However, with the Duke of Cambridge being a figurehead for the Royal Family as well as the Commonwealth, it is also worth remembering that homosexual activity is still a criminal offence in 35 of the 53 Commonwealth nations - and it is only legal in 18.
Many will now be wondering whether Prince William's words could have a positive impact on these places,

A Brit aristocrat, supporting faggotry. Better put this into breaking news.
What parent wouldnt?
William has a flaming uncle, so he has some knowledge.
A parent should love their child and be supportive, but I sometimes wonder what types of support these kids actually need. Just saying, “I support you”, doesn’t fix everything.
What’s next? The British monarchy being ok with incest? Gasp!
Sounds like someone is fixing to come outta the closet. ..
"England is a fag country!"
“I wish we lived in a world where it’s really normal and cool
And the media and entertainment industries have been working overtime to “normalize” homosexuality. What more do you want them to do?
I take issue with the “cool” part, because among the liberal elitist types, it is considered “cool” to be gay nowadays.
Unless “cool” in British English has a different slang meaning than it does in America.
"My objective is to ensure he is never molested in the first place."
Casual buggery and very polite antisemitism (which is really just a specialized form of elitism — because us Jews are just crass money-grubbers in their eyes) are fundamental hallmarks of upper class Brit society.
What are the chances that young Prince Leroy will be gay?
Not just an aristocrat, the HEIR TO THE THRONE (well, after big nose). Which means his children are next in line after him, so if they were gay, they produce no heirs of their own, which is kind of their number one priority in life.
The sad truth of the matter is that there are hundreds of thousands of sick Sodomites willing to give an innocent child an incurable STD in return for a moment of thrills.
but would he love his grandkids?
oops, sorry... not gonna have any.
"... homosexual activity is still a criminal offence in 35 of the 53 Commonwealth nations - and it is only legal in 18."
Traces of surviving sanity.
Mom will take care of that.
What’s with the term ‘kids’?
A sexually active teen perhaps, or young adult.
And why the term ‘gay’? There’s nothing ‘gay’ about homosexuality
If Prince William had stated “I would worry for my son if he chose a homosexual orientation”, that would be clarifying. As it is this Prince is playing and dancing to the tune belted out by the pervert class.
