The royal made an appearance on Levy's show The Reluctant Traveler and spoke about last year in which his wife Catherine, the Princess of Wales, and his father King Charles III both underwent cancer treatment.

"I'd say 2024 was the hardest year I've ever had," William was shown telling Levy in a preview of the Apple TV+ episode. "Life is said to test us as well, and being able to overcome that is what makes us who we are."

The preview of the episode, to be aired on October 3, features Prince William showing Levy around Windsor Castle and the pair chatting over a pint at a pub.

Princess Catherine said in January that her cancer was in remission, and she has taken on many more public engagements in recent months. Earlier this month she and Prince William played key roles in the royal welcome for President Donald Trump's UK state visit.

King Charles has also returned to public duty after stepping away for months last year to focus on his initial treatment and recovery.

The king and the princess have not revealed what type of cancer they were treated for.
