Overview
- An excerpt from Robert Jobson’s forthcoming book reports William asked in 2024 to temporarily step back after Kate and King Charles were diagnosed with cancer, a claim not confirmed by Buckingham or Kensington Palace.
- The book says King Charles declined the request and that William and the Princess of Wales became more religious, with William attending church more frequently in private.
- In a Brazilian TV interview, William said the family chose to tell George, Charlotte and Louis both the good news and the bad, acknowledging the children posed “difficult questions.”
- He added that the children do not have mobile phones and that George may receive a restricted-access device upon starting secondary school.
- William visited Brazil for The Earthshot Prize events and is set to represent the King at the COP30 climate summit in Belém.
