Prince William has offered a hopeful update on the health of both his wife, the Princess of Wales, and his father, King Charles, after what he admits was the most difficult year of his life.
Both Catherine, 43, and the King, 76, revealed cancer diagnoses in 2024. Speaking to actor Eugene Levy in an episode of Apple TV+’s The Reluctant Traveler, William reflected on how his family has coped through the challenges.
When Levy, 78, asked about their health, the Prince of Wales replied: “Yes, things are good. Everything is progressing in the right way, which is all good news.”
But he admitted that the past year was far from easy: “I’d say 2024 was the hardest year that I’ve ever had. Trying to balance protecting the children, Catherine, and my father… it was tricky trying to do that and keep doing the job.”
William explained that his priority was ensuring his family felt protected and had space to process what was happening away from public pressure.
Kate’s Remission and Family Life

When asked directly about Princess Kate’s remission, which she announced in January, William confirmed: “Yes, she is. Yes.” Calling it “great news,” he acknowledged how important the milestone was for the family.
