The royal family has had a tough battle in recent years.
In February 2024, Buckingham Palace announced that William’s father, King Charles IIIhad been diagnosed with a form of cancer and was undergoing treatment. A “separate area of concern” was identified during the monarch’s “benign prostate enlargement” procedure at the London Clinic. The king continues to undergo treatments.
Middleton announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer in March 2024, two months after undergoing the planned treatment abdominal surgery. In January, she revealed her cancer was in remission.
During an episode of Apple TV+ “The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy,” Prince William has opened up about the cancer diagnoses that have rocked his family.
“We were very lucky. We didn’t have many diseases in the family for a long time. My grandparents lived until they were in their late 90s,” Prince William said in the clip, referring to the late Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth.

“They were the vision of fitness, and stoicism, and resilience, if you will. So we were very lucky as a family,” he continued. “But I think when you suddenly realize that the rug, if that’s what it was, the metaphorical rug, can be pulled out from under your feet pretty quickly at any time.”

“You may be thinking to yourself, ‘It won’t happen to us, we’ll be fine.’ Because I think everyone has one positive outlook“You have to be positive,” he added. “But when it happens to you, you end up in some pretty not-great places.”
More recently, King Charles announced that Prince Andrew would be stripped of the “Prince Andrew’s Style, Titles and Awards” over the allegations against him linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

According to royal experts, Charles remains deeply troubled by the way ex-Prince Andrew’s controversies continue to cast a painful cloud over both his family and the monarchy he leads.
“During Remembrance Sunday during the Cenotaph Parade, King Charles was particularly emotional, shedding a tear as he stood in silence,” British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.
“He was withered and withdrawn, and one who was able to observe the toll the Andrew nightmare had taken on him. He seemed somewhat determined. It is also known that he wants to double his duty, rather than something bordering on a superficial or frivolous celebration.’
“While Andrew will of course always be his brother, now that the king is a private citizen, he is likely to distance himself even more publicly,” Fordwich said. “We won’t see Andrew at a birthday party again. He has made things even worse for himself because of his pride and his pervasive privileged attitude, because he thinks he is still entitled.”
