The Duke of Cambridge caused much excitement today with a speech he gave to British diplomats at the Foreign Office. In the speech, Prince William spoke about the importance of uniting with other nations:
‘In an increasingly turbulent world, our ability to unite in common action with other nations is essential. It is the bedrock of our security and prosperity and is central to your work.
Right now, the big questions with which you wrestle – in the UN, Nato, the Middle East and elsewhere – are predicated on your commitment to working in partnership with others.’
Story hungry hacks took his words as a hint that the royal is backing the In campaign in the EU referendum. While the story was soon doing the rounds, any celebrations in the remain camp were cooled by Kensington Palace. The palace issued a statement distancing William from the In campaign.
