Experts just highlighted Prince William's sheer exhaustion from his wife and father's health battles this year.
Royal expert Jennie Bond commented on the prince's life and family dynamics, all in the midst of cancer.
While speaking to RadarOnline, Ms. Bond went so far as to call this entire year a “tough test” for the future king.
“This year all the attention has been focused on Catherine and, of course, on King Charles,” he began by saying:
“But I think we should think about William, who has had to endure the burden and emotional turmoil of both his wife and father having cancer.”
Furthermore, “he has had to be the rock for both of them… and for his children. “It has been an incredibly difficult time for him and the tension has shown at times.”
Bond even noted that he “looks thinner and perhaps a little older, but he is emerging with his new beard and perhaps a new confidence that the future now seems brighter,” before saying goodbye.
