Prince William has spoken out about the “brutal” 2024 he has endured, describing it as “the hardest year of my life” following the cancer diagnoses of his father, King Charles III, and his wife, Kate Middleton.
Speaking to reporters on the final day of his visit to South Africa, which hosted his annual Earthshot Prize Ceremony, the Prince of Wales said, “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,” he added, responding to a question about how his year has been.
“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.”
This is a developing story.
