X A V I Posted February 23 Posted February 23 A former aide to the Prince of Wales has said the royal was at his "lowest" after the Princess of Wales was diagnosed with cancer. In an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, Jason Knauf, formerly the chief executive of William and Kate's Royal Foundation, said: "It was awful, absolutely awful. It's the lowest I've ever seen him. "Within a couple of weeks, if you're Prince William, you find out that both your wife and your father have cancer. I couldn't believe it." Both the King and the Princess of Wales were treated for cancer last year. Kate is now in remission and Charles is having ongoing treatment. Mr Knauf, 43, stepped down from his position at the end of 2021. Catherine's diagnosis was made public in March last year, and Mr Knauf said: "The problem was that all this crazy conspiracy theory stuff kicked off in the background, online. 'Was she really ill?'. "But they didn't want to say yet that she had cancer because they hadn't told the children and they were still working through how to tell the children." Speaking to reporters last year at the end of his visit to South Africa, Prince William, 42, talked about how he has coped after both his wife and his father were diagnosed with cancer, describing the past year as the "hardest year" of his life. "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," he said after being asked how his year has been after a difficult year for the Royal Family." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2gyllzj5eo
