Prince William’s remarkable ability to remain composed in times of crisis has come to the forefront, with royal author Andrew Morton praising the future King of England for his resilience. Morton spoke out about Prince William’s current challenges, noting the emotional toll of his responsibilities as he navigates the health battles of his family.
According to Morton, William is “handling it as well as you can do when you’ve got a wife who has been seriously ill and three children who need support and comfort.” The royal expert acknowledged the difficulty of the situation, stating, “For anyone dealing with a long-term illness, especially in that kind of position, it’s very difficult.”
William’s wife, Kate Middleton, is currently in remission after battling cancer, while King Charles continues his chemotherapy for an undisclosed cancer type. Despite the ongoing health struggles in his family, Morton highlighted how Prince William has managed to carry on with his royal duties, even stepping in to handle public engagements solo while both Kate and King Charles are on medical leave.
Morton remarked, “I don’t envy his role at the moment — he’s got a lot on his plate.” He commended William’s calm and dedication during these challenging times. In a reflection on Prince William’s character and preparation for future leadership, Morton credited the late Queen Elizabeth for playing a pivotal role in William’s upbringing.
He revealed that the Queen made a special effort to meet with her grandson every weekend during his Eton days, offering him guidance about his future royal responsibilities. Morton stated, “She was very mindful of the fact that these young couples shouldn’t have to harness themselves to doing endless royal duties,” emphasizing how much Prince William owes to her thoughtful mentorship.
As Prince William continues to support his family while fulfilling his royal duties, his calmness in the face of adversity is a testament to the Queen’s careful preparation and his own strength.
