Prince William has revealed details about the “hardest year of his life” during a rare television interview.
The Prince of Wales appeared alongside Canadian comedian and actor Eugene Levy on his upcoming show The Reluctant Traveller, as Levy explores London to experience Royal life.
A fresh preview of the program, set to debut on Apple TV on October 3, has been unveiled and features Levy meeting Prince William at Windsor Castle.
Following a handwritten invitation from William, the Schitt’s Creek star receives an exclusive tour of the Royal estate from the future King, with William quipping: “We provide this service for everyone. We do personalised tours everywhere,” before the duo takes a stroll around the grounds.
Following their tour, William and Eugene visit the neighborhood pub for a drink, where the Prince of Wales openly discusses the challenges he and his family have endured over the past 12 months, referencing King Charles and Princess Kate both receiving cancer diagnoses within weeks of each other, reports the Mirror.
In the heartfelt segment, William confesses: “I’d say 2024 was the hardest year I’ve ever had. You know, life is sent to test us as well, and being able to overcome that is what makes us who we are.”
The future monarch’s remarks reflected similar feelings he expressed late last year, when he discussed his wife and father’s cancer struggles during a solo journey to South Africa in November. In a remarkably candid interview, William commended the courage of Kate and Charles, while acknowledging their health struggles had taken a toll on the entire family.

He stated at the time: “Honestly? It’s been dreadful. It’s probably been the hardest year in my life.
“So, trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult. But I’m so proud of my wife, I’m proud of my father, for handling the things that they have done. But from a personal family point of view, it’s been brutal.”
Throughout his journey, William confessed his Royal responsibilities had provided comfort during such challenging periods, as he explained he had wrestled with balancing domestic and professional obligations. He disclosed, “I couldn’t be less relaxed this year. It’s more a case of just crack on and you’ve got to keep going. I enjoy my work and I enjoy pacing myself and keeping sure that I have got time for my family too.”
Eugene Levy’s program The Reluctant Traveller chronicles the Canadian performer as he embarks on discovering what the “ultimate travel bucket list” entails, taking him across Canada and the US, plus Austria, England, India, Ireland, Mexico and South Korea.
Additional participants featured in the series include Canadian vocalist Michael Buble, Eugene’s daughter and fellow Schitt’s Creek performer Sarah Levy, K-pop group NOWZ and former Indian cricket star Rahul Dravid.
