“It was the hardest year of my life“. This was revealed on principe William speaking to British media at the end of his four-day visit to South Africa. The heir to the throne underlined how it was “terrible” face the double diagnosis of cancer in the royal family in early 2024, which affected his wife Kate and the father King Charlesespecially “keeping everything on track” in a time dominated by worries. The situation has since improved, with the sovereign returning after weeks of therapy to his full public activity – including a recent 11-day tour of Australia and the Samoa Islands – and his wife continuing her recovery after the end of the chemotherapy cycle. “I’m so proud of my wife, I’m proud of my dad, for how they handled the things that they did“, added William, underlining how “from a personal and family point of view“it was”brutal“. According to Robert Hardman, biographer of Queen Elizabeth and Charles III quoted by the BBC, the prince’s confession is part of an attempt by the Royal Family to change one’s public image, also showing personal feelings where traditionally the focus has always been on not letting them shine through.
