The royal revealed that it was his mother’s charity work that inspired him to become involved.
“I used to bury my head in the sand and let everything around you sort of tear you to pieces.
“I was fighting the system, going ‘I don’t want to be this person.’
“My mother died when I was very, very young and I don’t want to be in this position.
“[But now I’m] energised, fired up, to be lucky enough to be in a position to make a difference.”
