The BGT judge was hosting an event at the Royal Albert Hall [PA]I want to look at a situation, which is just as big a concern to my sons as it is to me, where fortune very often does not favour the brave
He said that himself, Prince Harry and the Duke of Cambridge are concerned at the lack of opportunities for ex-service personnel outside the Armed Forces.
Charles, who served in the RAF and Royal Navy and now holds honorary senior ranks in all three services, told the audience that military veterans had many qualities useful in civilian life but need help in bridging the skills gap to find work outside the forces.
"I want to look at a situation, which is just as big a concern to my sons as it is to me, where fortune very often does not favour the brave," he said.
"And that is in the opportunities available to our troops when they return home and seek employment outside the Armed Forces.
"Loyalty, integrity, teamwork and the ability to work calmly and with discipline and good humour under intense pressure are qualities that any business must surely value highly.
"However, the transition is by no means easy, and we should not pretend it is, even for the able-bodied.
"For those who have been wounded, of course, the difficulties are greater still.
"One of the biggest differences the corporate sector can make, is the development of the skills needed to fill the skills gaps and create the employment and economic independence that enable individuals to contribute fully to the community in which they live."
The Princes are said to be concerned about the lack of support for ex-service personnel [PA]Mr Mpanga said: "William was asking if I was a rapper previously, which I was. He must have an ear for rap music.
"He said there was so much gravitas and meaning behind what I was saying. It was very humbling."
