Prince William said the past year has been “brutal” as his wife and father announced their diagnoses with cancer.
"It's been dreadful. It's probably been the hardest year in my life," William told NBC News' international partner, Sky News, at the end of a weeklong tour in Cape Town, South Africa, for the fourth annual Earthshot Prize.
King Charles III announced his cancer diagnosis in February following a procedure for benign prostate enlargement. During the procedure, "a separate issue of concern was noted," and further testing confirmed the presence of cancer, Buckingham Palace said at the time.
He resumed public duties as king in April after progress was made in his treatment.
In a video address released in March, Kate, the Princess of Wales, shared that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing "a course of preventative chemotherapy" following a period of widespread speculation about her health and whereabouts. She said the cancer was found during major abdominal surgery in January.
