William and Catherine, Prince and Princess of Wales, have had an extremely stressful year.

After Kate had major abdominal surgery in January 2024, she revealed a cancer diagnosis in March.

At the time, the princess explained that she would receivepreventative chemotherapy.

Understandably, this treatment impacted the family’s plans, sometimes causing them to make some last-minute decisions.

It was even postulated that Prince George and Princess Charlotte might accompany him.

However, as William explained in an October 2024 interview with British Olympians, he canceled the trip abruptly.

The prince’s decision to be cautious is logical.

“Adam very kindly reminded me that was still a thing,” William added.

“There are good days and bad days,” she candidly explained in a June 2024Instagrampost.

When Kate disclosed that she was finished with chemotherapy in early September, she presented a mix of emotions.
