Earlier in 2024, William, Prince of Wales, seemed to follow this pattern.
“It’s probably been the hardest year in my life.
“From a personal family point of view, it’s been brutal.”

The prince has had additional responsibilities, all needing his attention simultaneously.
“Little things to make life more normal for them.”
William has also dealt with increased royal responsibilities while Charles and Kate focused on their health.

During his BBC interview, William praised their response to adversity.
Even so, she was also considering the wellbeing of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Kate continued her emotionally open approach in September 2024, when she happily reported that she had finished chemotherapy.
For William, being candid about his family’s struggles might be easier than keeping his feeling bottled up.
