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.
In September, Kate said she had completed chemotherapy treatment and would return to a light schedule of public engagements through the end of the year. Neither Charles nor Kate has revealed what kind of cancer they were diagnosed with. Buckingham Palace said the king did not have prostate cancer. Kate had largely been out of the public eye in the months after she announced her diagnosis, but state events and other ceremonies that members of the royal family usually attend have not stopped.
