When Olympic swimmer Tom Dean asked him if he had been able to go to Paris, William laid his cards on the table. “No, I really wanted to come, but I have to say that after reading someone’s interview about Covid, I decided, because my wife was obviously undergoing chemotherapy, that I didn’t want to risk bringing Covid home, and Adam (Adam Peaty – who tested positive during the games editor’s note) very kindly reminded me that it was still possible!” explained the eldest son of the King Charles III.
As a big sports fan, he nevertheless assured that he had not missed an event from home. “But we looked at everything. We were glued to the screen every day,” continued the father of George, Charlotte and Louis.
As a reminder, Kate Middleton announced on September 9 the end of her chemotherapy. She revealed in March 2024 that she was suffering from cancer diagnosed following an abdominal operation.
