As the royal family grapples with a health crisis, Prince William shoulders additional responsibilities, feeling the absence of his brother, Prince Harry's support.
In a recent People cover story, royal insiders delve into the Prince of Wales' "private struggle" amid his wife, Kate Middleton, and father, King Charles, undergoing cancer treatment.
"Whether you're a prince or a commoner, the weight of both your father and wife battling cancer is unimaginable," shared a royal insider. "William is facing this challenge head-on."
Ingrid Seward, author of "My Mother and I," highlights the void left by Harry's absence. "William always envisioned having Harry by his side. Without him, the burden falls squarely on William and his immediate family. There's no one else to share the load."
Royal biographer Robert Lacey underscores the immense pressure on William as he navigates his roles as a parent and future head of the family. "The dual illnesses have presented William with significant challenges," remarked Lacey. "Yet, he handles it with remarkable composure, avoiding unnecessary drama."
"For William, Kate's well-being is paramount," added Ingrid.
A close source emphasized William's dedication to supporting Kate through her recovery, ensuring she receives the necessary time and assistance, especially for the sake of their children.
