He added that family challenges are different:
“When it’s to do with family and things like that, then that’s where I start getting a bit overwhelmed – as I think most people would, because it’s more personal, it’s more about feeling, it’s more about upsetting the rhythm, if you like.”
Health Updates and Moving Forward
In January 2025, Princess Kate announced she was in remission, while King Charles continues to undergo treatment for his illness.
Reflecting on the difficulties, William shared:
“I’d say 2024 was the hardest year that I’ve ever had…I enjoy my job, but sometimes there are aspects of it such as the media, the speculation, you know the scrutiny, that make it a little bit harder than other jobs.
“It’s just making sure that doesn’t overtake and intrude into areas at times when you just want a bit of space, and a bit of peace and quiet.”
Balancing Duty and Family
The Prince of Wales also spoke about the importance of finding balance between his royal responsibilities and home life.
He told Apple TV:
“Getting the balance of work and family life right is really important.
“Because for me, the most important thing in my life is family, and everything is about the future and about if you don’t start the children off now with a happy, healthy, stable home, I feel you’re setting them up for a bit of a hard time and a fall.
“And so, it’s about making sure that we can look after our families, look after our children, in a way that is best for their future.”
