Prince William got candid this week about the “brutal” and heartbreaking year 2024 has been, as his wife, Princess Kate, and his father, King Charles, have navigated their respective cancer journeys.

“It’s been dreadful,” he told People from South Africa, where he was presiding over the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony for climate change innovation, which he founded. “It’s probably been the hardest year in my life.”

He said he’s managed by simply powering through, inspired by the strength of the king and the Princess of Wales.

“But I’m so proud of my wife, I’m proud of my father, for handling the things that they have done,” William said. “But from a personal family point of view, it’s been, yeah, it’s been brutal.”

In January, Kate underwent “planned abdominal surgery,” disappearing from public life for weeks amid speculation about her health. The following month, Charles announced that cancer had been discovered during a routine surgical procedure. Then in March, the princess announced her own cancer diagnosis.

Denzel talking ABOUT last movie ROLES AND retiring

After reeling off a string of upcoming movie roles, Washington said he also plans to star in a big-screen adaptation of “Othello” as well as “King Lear,” and then “after that I’m going to retire.”

Chalamet didn’t ‘have the right body’ for some roles

Timothée Chalamet has shared a story that makes clear women in Hollywood aren’t the only ones being judged for their physical appearance.

The “Dune” star talked to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about his experience early in his career.

“If I auditioned for ‘The Maze Runner’ or ‘Divergent,’ things of that variety that were popping when I was coming up, the feedback was always, ‘Oh, you don’t have the right body,’” Chalamet said. “I had an agent that called me and said, ‘You got to put on weight,’ basically not aggressively, but you know.”

Chalamet stars as Bob Dylan in the forthcoming music biopic, “A Complete Unknown,” which hits theaters on Christmas Day.
