The Duke of Sussex has publicly supported retired rugby player Gareth Thomas September 16, 2019 - 16:58 BST Danielle Stacey The Duke of Sussex briefly put his 35th birthday plans on hold this weekend to share a message of support for Gareth Thomas, the retired Welsh rugby player, who was pushed to reveal he is HIV positive.
It’s the latest move by the royal to help break the taboo around the subject – echoing the work of his late mother Princess Diana. In the 1980s, little was known about HIV/AIDS and how it was transmitted, causing panic and fear among the public in the UK. In 1987, Diana became the first member of the royal family to have contact with AIDS victims. She famously sat and shook hands with an HIV sufferer upon opening a new AIDS ward at Middlesex Hospital.
