He said the King and Catherine's cancer battles took him to “not great places” and 2024 was the “hardest year I've ever had”.

William, 43, also admitted while he can embrace his duties as future king, he finds family issues harder to handle.

He said: “Stuff to do with family overwhelms me, quite a bit. You know, worry or stress around the family side of things. I'm so proud of my wife and my father, for how they've handled all of last year. My children have managed brilliantly as well.”

The Prince of Wales was talking to actor Eugene Levy, who was making a documentary, after touring Windsor Castle, and was asked how his children - George, 12, Charlotte, 10 and seven-year-old Louis - had dealt with their mother developing cancer.
