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

The Brazil interview offered a rare look at the Waleses’ candor with their children during recent health struggles.

Overview

  • William told Brazilian host Luciano Huck they chose full transparency with George, Charlotte and Louis, acknowledging difficult questions about their mother and grandfather.
  • He said hiding information from children does not work, describing their discussions as a continual parental balancing act guided by instinct.
  • None of the children currently has a mobile phone, and George may receive a limited or no‑internet device when he starts secondary school next year.
  • William described sharing the school run and prioritizing play dates, sports and time in the garden while fitting royal duties around family life.
  • The remarks were made during his Brazil trip for the Earthshot Prize and COP30, where he also spoke of carrying Princess Diana’s humanitarian legacy; Catherine remains in remission and the King continues cancer treatment.
