William in gay magazine

PRINCE William has become the first member of the Royal Family to appear on the cover of gay magazine Attitude.

In doing so he follows in the footsteps of other famous faces such as footballer David Beckham, actor Daniel Radcliffe and diver Tom Daley.

But while many of the lifestyle publication’s ‘cover men’ are featured in a state of undress, William’s front page shows him in a white shirt, albeit with the top buttons undone.

He agreed to pose in order to speak out on the issue of homophobic bullying. ‘No one should be bullied for their sexuality or any other reason,’ he told the magazine, on sale next week.

As part of the feature he also met members of the LGBT community at Kensington Palace to listen to their experiences of bullying and the mental health affects it can have.
