Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer in February 2024.

A month later, the Princess of Wales revealed her own cancer diagnosis in an emotional video message to the world.

Prince William stressed his pride at the resilience shown by his father and wife during their cancer battles.

Princess Kate announced in January 2025 that she was in remission, while King Charles is continuing to receive treatment for his cancer.

When asked how 2024 has been for him, the prince said: "Honestly? 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.

"But 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, yeah, it's been brutal."
