Prince William recently opened up about the difficulties his family has faced over the past year, describing it as 'brutal.' The Prince of Wales shared his candid thoughts during a press briefing in South Africa, where he had been on a four-day trip.

He revealed that both his wife and father had been diagnosed with cancer in 2024, making it one of the toughest years of his life.
