In 2024, the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis forced her to tread uncertain terrain. But in 2025, she and the Prince, both 43, proved that they had not only crossed that territory, but also brought their relationship, their family and their royal roles on to even more solid ground.
As William said in an interview with Luciano Huck, the host of The Earthshot Prize Awards, in November: “Every family goes through difficult times and faces challenges together. How you deal with those moments makes all the difference.”
The couple’s winning formula was – as it has always been – to give each other unconditional support and their three children the security of knowing that, come what may, their parents will put their wellbeing first.
