20. From The Guardian: How this came about:

<snip>

The cover came about after the Duke of Cambridge invited Attitude to bring members of the LGBT+ community to Kensington Palace to hear their experiences of bullying and discuss the impact on mental health.

William, along with the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, is leading the Heads Together campaign, which aims to end stigma around mental health.

He told Attitude: “No one should be bullied for their sexuality or any other reason and no one should have to put up with the kind of hate that these young people have endured in their lives. The young gay, lesbian and transgender individuals I met through Attitude are truly brave to speak out and to give hope to people who are going through terrible bullying right now. Their sense of strength and optimism should give us all encouragement to stand up to bullying wherever we see it.”

He urged anyone who was being bullied for their sexuality to contact someone whom they could trust, whether a friend, teacher or other adult, or a service such as Childline or the Diana Award. “You should be proud of the person you are and you have nothing to be ashamed of,” the prince said.
