A former royal aide recently shared how Prince William reacted to Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
Jason Knauf, who worked with the couple for seven years, revealed in an interview with *60 Minutes Australia* that William was deeply shaken. “It was awful, absolutely awful. It’s the lowest I’ve ever seen him,” he said.
Balancing royal duties while supporting Kate and their three children was challenging for William. The couple needed time to process the diagnosis before making it public.
Jason explained that they delayed the announcement because they hadn’t yet told their children—Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.
Kate has since shared positive news that she is in remission and has begun returning to public life. In January, she was seen at an optician’s office, sparking speculation about possible vision-related side effects from treatment.
Meanwhile, King Charles and Sarah Ferguson have spoken about their own cancer experiences. Charles mentioned chemotherapy affecting his sense of taste, while Sarah highlighted the importance of lymphatic drainage after breast cancer surgery.
Kate’s openness about her journey has offered comfort to many, and William remains by her side, supporting her through recovery and their royal responsibilities.
