Prince William describes the impact of cancer diagnoses on his family

ai generated text

The recent past year has had a profoundly emotional and challenging impact on Prince William, with him describing it as "brutal" and "probably the hardest year in my life". This difficult period was primarily due to the cancer diagnoses and subsequent treatments of his wife, the Princess of Wales, and his father, the King. William particularly emphasized the emotional toll of watching his wife go through chemotherapy, stating that this experience was worse for him than the loss of his mother at the age of 15. The Prince of Wales was speaking on the final day of a four-day visit to South Africa, where he was hosting the annual Earthshot Prize, an environmental award he established in 2020.

    1. So, yes, I get a bit frustrated that it takes a long time to convince people that this is worthy of their attention. But I guess that's the nature of a global environment prize, you start from scratch and it's going to take a bit of time.
    2. But the key thing is really the impact. We need to translate the sort of effort that we put into the visibility of the prize and particularly the visibility of the solutions.
    3. I don't know about everyone else, but hearing the Lion King gets me quite emotional.
    4. I'm so proud of my wife, I'm proud of my father, for handling the things that they have done. But from a personal family point of view, it's been brutal.
    5. It's been dreadful. It's probably been the hardest year in my life. So trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult.
    6. It's interesting you say that, because I couldn't be less relaxed this year. But it's more a case of just crack on and you've got to keep going. I enjoy my work and I enjoy pacing myself and keeping sure that I have got time for my family too.
