Prince William Says He and Kate Told Their Children Everything About Her Cancer in Brazil TV Interview

He framed openness with their children as the family's guiding approach to difficult news.

Overview

  • Speaking to broadcaster Luciano Huck during his Brazil trip for Earthshot events and COP30, William said the couple chose full transparency with George, Charlotte and Louis about Kate's diagnosis and treatment.
  • He explained that hiding information fuels anxiety and that the pair focus on explaining feelings and unanswered questions as they arise.
  • None of the children currently have mobile phones, and William said George may receive a device without internet access when he starts secondary school, noting the topic has become a tense issue at home.
  • William described everyday parenting duties, saying he shares the school run, attends sports days and acts as the family's taxi driver, though Catherine does most school drop-offs.
  • Kate completed chemotherapy in 2024 and announced remission in January 2025, and both she and King Charles have returned to duties as William spotlights environmental work and declines to engage on other family controversies.
