When asked about the year and the royal family’s woes in November 2024, the heir to the throne, 42-year-old Prince William, said, “I’m proud of my wife and father for handling things,” referring to their cancer battles. “But personally, it’s been brutal.”
William’s words showed the royals’ human side, reminding us they face struggles like anyone.
Given these hardships, the Waleses’ Christmas Carol Service at Westminster Abbey on December 24 meant even more. It welcomed 1,600 people and the royal family, shining as a symbol of love and resilience.
