Kate was diagnosed with cancer, which shocked the world, and saddened her immediate relatives, her husband, Prince William, and their three children, how did she get out of this huge sudden blow? ¡ª Prince William said, after the wife was diagnosed, ¡°We¡¯re working hard to ensure they (the three children) provide the necessary security, we¡¯re a very open family, so we¡¯ll talk together about things and problems that bother us, but you never know... what it will impact... so it¡¯s important to be together, let the kids be confident, everything is fine.¡±

After announcing cancer to the world last March 22, Kate virtually didn¡¯t appear in the public eye when she was undergoing chemotherapy. In September 2024, Kate said her cancer treatment had ended. In January this year, she announced relief.

William said: ¡°I¡¯m proud of my wife¡¯s performance last year! My kids did well too.¡± he added: ¡°It¡¯s important that my family feels protected (which gives them) to have room to deal with so many things that suddenly happen in the home. For me, it¡¯s hard to try to do this and continue to do this work. We¡¯re all facing challenges, but it¡¯s important to keep going.¡±

When talking about stress in life, Prince William did not say that the stress came from "the job of becoming a future king" as people might imagine, but frankly said that it came from his family. "I'm a little overwhelmed by family-related things," he replied. He reiterated: "The worry or pressure about my family really makes me a little overwhelmed."

Regarding fulfilling his royal obligations and taking on the job of the future king of England, William said,"I don't feel too overwhelmed as far as doing this job-at least not now." He has repeatedly said that families are "more individual and more about personal feelings, or many unexpected and uncontrollable things can happen and disrupt the rhythm of life."

William also shared many childhood experiences, such as his three children did not have mobile phones, "We are very strictly adhering to this principle." In addition, the kids loved outdoor sports. Both Louis (7 years old) and Charlotte (10 years old) liked trampoline, and the two were often in the backyard, the height of the trampoline jump was obvious, and neither of their movements had anything to say," said Prince William.
