Prince William Was "Completely Crestfallen" When Princess Kate Received Cancer Diagnosis

Prince William and Princess Kate visit Daystar Evangelical Church on March 26, 2022.

Princess Kate shared her cancer diagnosis with the world in March 2024. Revealing she'd been undergoing preventative chemotherapy, Kate said in a video shared on X, "It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family." She continued, "It was thought [in January] that my condition was non-cancerous... However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present."

While promoting his new book, Catherine, the Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen, author Robert Jobson spoke to Us Weekly about Prince William's reaction to his wife's diagnosis. "It was devastating for him," Jobson explained. The royal expert also described William as being "completely crestfallen," particularly as his father King Charles III had recently been diagnosed with cancer, too.
