Prince William Reveals How He And Princess Kate Shared Cancer Diagnosis With Their Children

When a parent with young children faces a cancer diagnosis, it brings on many emotions. One of the most difficult aspects can be deciding how much to disclose to the children. This can vary tremendously depending on a child’s age. The older they are, the more they are able to understand and even read between the lines.

Kids are very intuitive and may realize something’s wrong before their parents do. According to People, Prince William told Luciano Huck during a recent trip to Brazil that when Kate Middleton was diagnosed with cancer, she and Prince William “chose to communicate a lot more with our children.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Luciano Huck (@lucianohuck) Prince William Admitted That Sharing Kate Middleton’s Cancer Diagnosis Was Hard Prince William told Luciano Huck that talking to his kids openly about Kate Middleton’s Cancer had its challenges.

“Now, that has its good things and its bad things. Sometimes you feel you’re oversharing with the children you probably shouldn’t,” he said. “But most of the time, hiding stuff from them doesn’t work.” William added that talking about serious topics must be met with “But it is always a balancing act, every parent knows that,” he said.

“It’s, ‘How much do I say? What do I say? When do I say?’ There’s no manual for being a parent, you’ve just got to go with it a bit of instinct.” Prince William also spoke with Eugene Levy recently about Kate Middleton’s cancer and how his family dealt with the news.

“We try to make sure we give them the security and the safety that they need,” William said. “And we’re a very open family, so we talk about things that bother us, and things that trouble us, but you never quite know the knock-on effects that it can have.

And so, it’s just important to be there for each other and to kind of reassure the children that everything is okay.” He may be the future king, but at heart, William is a loving husband and father who wants the best for his family.
