During the investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, Prince William discussed the legacy of his late mother, Princess Diana.
A teacher who was honored for her efforts in the deaf community spoke with the BBC about her experience with the Prince of Wales.
Wendy Daunt told the newspaper, "I wanted to tell him how proud the deaf community were of his mother, Princess Diana."
She described how, at the British Deaf Association convention, late Diana left deaf people "amazed and in awe" when she "came on stage to receive a book, and signed in BSL."
"A royal person had finally adopted our language. Wendy continued, "We have kept the respect for BSL that she gave us all these years and will never forget it."
She went on to ask William, "Why don't your three children learn to sign?"
Wendy reported that "his face said 'I'm not sure', but then he said, 'Maybe Prince George would like to.'"
Wendy Daunt stated that Prince William "did say that I could teach Prince George BSL."
"However, I believe it would be preferable if a younger individual, possibly a guy his own age, taught him football signals. I'd like Prince George to be friends with deaf youngsters," she said.
