Speaking to Gordon Rayner for The Telegraph, the former Cabinet Secretary revealed he was always asked to push boundaries by Prince William.

"He felt it was really important to be exposed to every part of life," he said, suggesting it was likely something "his mother instilled in him and his brother at a young age,” said Lord Case.

"We were really going to go somewhere where it wasn't going to be rope lines of waving Union Jacks," Lord Case added.

"There was this great temptation for people locally to go in and clean up all of the used needles and things like that that were sort of all over the floors of some of the housing."

“No, no, don't do that. It's actually really important that they see what life is actually like,” he noted.
