Prince William is worried about his look as his family battles cancer

Bond said: “All the focus this year was on Catherine and of course King Charles. But I think we should also spare a thought for William, who has had to bear the burden and emotional turmoil of both his wife and father having cancer. .

“And he had to be the rock for both of them… and for his children. It’s been an incredibly difficult time for him and the tension is visible at times.”

She continued: “He looks thinner and maybe a little older, but he steps out with his new beard and perhaps a new confidence that the future is now brighter.”

Bond also noted that William has been busier than ever with public appearances, adding that he is doing even more ‘behind closed doors’ for the companies, organizations and campaigns he supports.

The princess uploaded a video to X, describing her “long” road to recovery and saying she would “take each day as it comes.”

She explained: “The past nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and unknown roads.”

“The cancer journey is complex, frightening and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.”

Kate concluded her video by acknowledging the future and how she was “looking forward to getting back to work and doing a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.”

The princess attended her first public engagement since finishing chemotherapy on Thursday, October 10.

She and William went to Southport to meet the families of the three young women stabbed in a killing spree yoga class.

Body language expert Judi James said the royal couple appeared to have ‘inner tension’ as they both appeared to be deep in thought during the performance.

Although Kate seemed more “empathetic” and “sad” at the beginning of the outing, she seemed to become more animated later on.
