The 42-year-old said: “It's funny looking back on it now, as it was before social media, where the reach was so much greater – I was just an 11-year-old with a pen and paper, but it says to show if you know something is wrong and you are using your voice to stand up for what is right, that really resonates with people.”

“It has always intrigued me that when you scratch the surface of any British, you discover that there is usually much more to them than simply 'Made in Britain',” the duke said.

“I think we're all wondering how we can reach those communities that maybe don't always think that this, the monarchy, is something for them.”

He also said people from family support charities were “a bit surprised” by his visit to support the new Britons.

London Youth chief executive Pauline Daniyan said the duke is “incredibly supportive in terms of the work we do, generous with his time and makes things happen”.
