The royal family has endured a difficult 2024, with both King Charles and the Princess of Wales confirming the news that they had been diagnosed with undisclosed forms of cancer earlier this year.
The two senior working royals were forced to take a temporary step back from duty to focus on their respective recoveries, with Prince William having to step up in their absences. And while King Charles has now returned to duties and Princess Kate is expected to scale up her public appearances in the coming months, Prince William still appears to be taking on major responsibilities as heir to the throne.
