Duke of Cambridge Says He Would Fully Support His Children If They Are Gay
During a visit to the Albert Kennedy Trust (AKT), the Duke of Cambridge said that "I fully support whatever decision they make" if one of his three children realised that they were LGBT. Prince William went on to iterate that he would be worried about "pressures" that a royal child would face if they came out as LGBT. The Duke confirmed that he and the Duchess of Cambridge had discussed the issue recently, and that is was something that he had given more thought to after becoming a parent.
Prince William elaborated that: "It does worry me, from a parent point of view, how much, how many barriers, you know, hateful words, persecution, all that, discrimination, that might come. That's the bit that really troubles me."

| Princess Melinda Esterházy von Galántha |
Since 2014, Prince Anton and his son have been plagued by a problem caused by the will of Princess Melinda (1920-2014; née Ottrubay), who was the widow of Anton's uncle Prince Pál Esterházy von Galántha (1901-1989). Princess Melinda was the sole beneficiary of her husband's will. Upon her death, perhaps at her nephew's insistence, she allowed the Esterházy fortune, estimated at around € 800 million, to pass into foundations controlled, not by the Esterházy family, but by her nephew, Stefan Ottrubay.
