On the subject of gay adoption, Prince Jonathan says:
“Opponents will always pull out photographs of half-naked people at gay pride and say, ‘Do you really want to put your children in their care?'”
Prince Jonathan recently helped set up a refuge for young lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who have suffered discrimination.
Prince Jonathan and his partner are planning to move to Norwich and send the children to an English private school.
