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,

One of the most horrific moments in Titanic movies is when the Union Jack flying from the fantail disappears beneath the waves.
I picture that with news like this. Britain is mostly finished.
That’s a good point. Whoever’s in line for the throne is supposed to produce “an heir and a spare.” I wish someone had brought that up to William!
+1.
More than a FRew right here. Like the ‘Phobs who responded to your loving post. Obviously they do not have gay children. At least I hope not.
You can say he should behave differently, but what happens when he realizes the child isn't going to change?
And "support" can come in a variety of ways. It doesn't have to mean complete approval and endorsement.
There have been a lot of homosexuals in the royal family and even more working for them, and presumably that won't change any time soon.
Much of that was going on when the Church of England condemned homosexuality. Having homosexuals in the royal family or the monarch's court didn't constitute an endorsement of homosexual activity.
I’m reminded of what Michael Savage one said:
“GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY!!!”
Is it possible to get through even one hour of of media exposure without that coming up? I’ve got the Weather Channel on now, so it probably won’t come up there unless a storm hits a Pride Parade.
I would support my child if they were mentally defective and were obsessed with fecal sex....
I would support my child if they screwed goats....
I would support my child if they screwed road kill....
I would support my child if my child supported ‘intergenerational intimacy’....
I would support my child if they mutilated their genitalia....
I would support my child if they converted to islam and mutilated their daughter’s genitalia....
Where does it end?
Yes, if my child had this level of mental disease, I would ‘support’ them. But I wouldn’t sugar coat it.
Would a picture of all of those wearing the regalia of the ORDER OF THE GARTER, on their annual procession, also make you assume that every single one of them are homos or lesbians; including the present Queen?
For your own sake, stop proving, by your posts, that you don't know what you're talking about and a detriment to this site.

I’d support my child, or any family member.
Period.
I don’t care if they are planning to set off a nuke, or lead a cannibal cult, or worked for Kim Un or conert ti Islam or go to a cross burning or sell secrets to China; they are family, they can do no wrong, anyone against them is against me.
What’s wrong with Prince William’s wife?
The only one we're sure is not a queen is...the Queen!
These people are highly managed, public commodities. Don’t mistake what they may say in public with what may be their sincere, personal feelings.
Though I agree that I would still love and support my child, while warning about the dangers of his/her chosen lifestyle.
(I saw ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ the other night. Such a waste and loss of an amazing talent.)
Once here I heard someone say it used to be the love that dare not speak it’s name. Now it’s the love that won’t shut up!
Wonder if the balding ‘prince’ William is a sodomite himself?
“Would a picture of all of those wearing the regalia of the ORDER OF THE GARTER, on their annual procession, “
I would find it rather comical to see a bunch of inbreds dressed like buffoons, on parade.
I think the more-than-requisite number of progeny refutes that...
Not to mention the gossip that accompanied his pre-marriage days - and beyond.
