In 2024, Prince William spoke out about the experience of both his father and wife being diagnosed with cancer, calling last year "the hardest year in my life." Now in a new 60 Minutes Australia episode, former royal aide Jason Knauf shared what it was really like behind the scenes as the Prince of Wales dealt with two family health crises.
Knauf—who served as a royal communications secretary and later CEO of Prince William and Princess Kate’s Royal Foundation—opened up about working for the family during a Sunday, Feb. 23 episode of the show. In his interview, Knauf said that William found out about The King and Kate’s cancer news “within a couple weeks” of each other.
