In recent statements, an expert analyzed the ‘acute stress‘ Prince William would be facing with his family’s health issues and with his return to royal duties as the most important role replacing his father, the King of the United Kingdom.
Due to the sudden and serious surgery his wife, Kate Middleton, had to undergo and the cancer diagnosis of his father, King Charles III, the responsibility of the family and the monarchy has fallen on the shoulders of the Prince of Wales, which would bring him much stress.
Given the doubts over the heir, the psychologist Elena Daprá shared with the media Lecturas that although the royal responsibilities could not be a source of stress because he had prepared his entire life for them, his thoughts of “everything having happened at the worst possible moment” could cause anxiety.
In addition, the expert said that another significant source of stress is “when loved ones are in pain or when they are not in good health… it is what we most worry about in this life“. The British press has also shared that Prince William has recently looked tired at events.
About the type of anxiety the son of King Charles could be suffering, Daprá said: “It does not seem to be chronic; instead, it’s acute and associated with a particular circumstance“. She added, “It’s impossible to confirm it until he himself manifests it“.
