Royal Family cancer battles ‘like a rug pulled from under your feet’, William says
King Charles opens up about ‘daunting and frightening’ experience of cancer in personal message
Prince William reflected on the royal family's recent cancer diagnoses, describing the experience as akin to having the 'rug' pulled from under one's feet.
He noted the family's previous good health and longevity, with grandparents living into their 90s, which fostered a belief that 'it won’t happen to us'.
The comments were made during an appearance on Eugene Levy’s Apple TV+ series, The Reluctant Traveller, where William also gave Levy a tour of Windsor Castle.
Both the Princess of Wales and the King announced their cancer diagnoses early in 2024, leading to widespread concern.
The article states the Princess of Wales confirmed she was in remission in January, while King Charles continues to receive treatment and maintain official duties.
