Prince William—Whose Wife and Father Are Simultaneously Battling Cancer—Finds an “Unlikely” Ally Amid the Tumult

Prince William.

No matter if you’re a member of the royal family or if you’re just a normal old bloke, the thought of having your wife and your father battling cancer at the same time is absolutely jarring. Add to the mix that the Prince and Princess of Wales are raising three children 10 years old and younger, and that the entire world is watching, and Prince William is in an unimaginable pressure cooker. Going even deeper, Kate’s cancer diagnosis—though filled with optimism—no doubt triggers losing his own mother, Princess Diana, when he was just 15 years old, and how he, of course, would be shattered if the same would happen to his own children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
