Prince William has shared an intimate glimpse into what he’s calling “the toughest year of his life.” In a rare TV chat on Eugene Levy’s upcoming show, “The Reluctant Traveller,” the Prince of Wales offered a heartfelt discussion on how his family navigated the rollercoaster of emotions over the past year. The programme, which hits Apple TV on October 3, features William and the beloved “Schitt’s Creek” actor taking a stroll around Windsor Castle and grabbing a pint at a local pub, where the Prince opened up about the struggles he’s faced.
William revealed that both King Charles and Princess Kate were diagnosed with cancer within a shockingly short span, leading to one of the most challenging moments for the royal family. Reflecting on the tumultuous year, William said, “2024 was the hardest year I’ve ever had. Life tests us, and overcoming challenges makes us who we are.”
Despite the heartache, William praised the remarkable strength of his wife and father, stating how proud he is of their courage during such difficult times. “Honestly, it’s been dreadful. It’s probably been the hardest year in my life,” he confessed, highlighting the intense balancing act he’s had to maintain between personal and royal duties. Still, he finds solace in his royal responsibilities, which helped him cope with this extraordinary hardship. “Crack on and keep going,” seems to be the mantra that kept him afloat.
