Prince William’s fears of death coming back exposed by royal expert

Prince William’s deepest fears about his children—George, Charlotte, and Louis—growing up motherless have come to light during what’s been described as the toughest year of his life. With Kate Middleton and King Charles having faced serious health challenges, the Prince of Wales is battling his own emotional scars.

Royal expert Helena Chard shared with Fox News Digital how William’s year has been marked by personal struggles and public duty. “He will have been reminded of the trauma of losing his mother at an early age,” she explained. Despite his internal struggles, William continues to honor Princess Diana’s legacy, carrying forward her message of compassion and service. Yet, the royal commentator notes that 2024 had a serious impact on the Prince:

“It has been the hardest year of Prince William’s life, having both his wife and father very ill and having to keep strong for his family yet continuing to serve the nation.”

In a heartfelt interview during his South Africa trip for the Earthshot Prize awards, William described this year as “dreadful” and “brutal.” While he didn’t name anyone, it’s clear his family’s health battles weigh heavily on his heart.
