Prince William has admitted that he felt overwhelmed at times last year as both Princess Kate and King Charles faced cancer diagnoses.

The Prince of Wales spoke candidly with actor Eugene Levy in a new episode of Apple TV’s The Reluctant Traveler, set to air on Friday.

In February 2024, Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer. Just a month later, Princess Kate shared her own diagnosis in a heartfelt video message.

Family Stress and Overwhelm

Speaking with Mr Levy, William explained how family worries have weighed on him:
“You know, worry or stress around the family side of things that does overwhelm me quite a bit.

“But in terms of, you know, doing the job and things like that, I don’t feel too overwhelmed by that.

“Not now anyway, when I was younger, yeah, there are bits that overwhelm you, a bit like ‘wow are we actually doing this? Is this sort of happening?’ but with time and age, I think you feel a bit more settled in that side of things and you go, actually I can do that.

“And even if a few curve balls come in, that doesn’t necessarily overwhelm me.”
