Overview
- In a Brazilian TV interview with Luciano Huck, William said openness guided how they spoke to George, Charlotte and Louis about Kate’s illness.
- He said the children asked difficult questions and that deciding how much to share at each moment was a continual balancing act.
- William noted the family’s strict phone rules remain in place, though George may get a basic handset without internet when he starts secondary school, which he called a growing point of tension.
- Kate disclosed her cancer in March 2024, completed chemotherapy later that year and announced remission in January 2025 before resuming limited public duties.
- The comments also referenced the wider context of royal health disclosures after the palace announced King Charles III was receiving cancer treatment in early 2024.
