Prince William made the comments while at an event in Northern Ireland, celebrating the work of former Olympian Mary Peters.
The Duke of Cambridge has urged Britons to come"together in times of trouble and work for the common good" during a visit to Northern Ireland.
Prince William praised Olympian Dame Mary Peters' work for the"common good" and he hoped people would follow her example., in which she urged people to find"common ground" and to respect"different points of view". Her speech was seen as controversial, as members of the Royal Family are expected to exclude themselves from politics.Commentators at the time suggested the Queen's comments were related to the divisive Brexit debate.
In a speech at Belfast Empire Music Hall on Wednesday night, the Queen's grandson, who is second in line to the throne after Prince Charles, praised Dame Mary's work in breaking down taboos around mental health and working with those at risk of entering care or custody. He said:"The work you do transcends community divisions and is helping deliver a brighter future for everybody in Northern Ireland."
