William,
meanwhile,
had
already
pressed
pause
on
his
own
schedule
earlier
in
the
year
after
Kate’s
surgery
and
his
father’s
treatment for
an
enlarged
prostate.
But
after
Charles
shared
Feb.
5
that
he’d
been
diagnosed
with
cancer, the
heir
to
the
throne
knew
he
had
to
get
back
to
work
as
soon
as
possible
as
the
youngest
and
most
popular
senior
royal
still
in
commission.
(According
to
the
latest
YouGov
poll
from
the
first
quarter
of
2024,
he
trails
only
his
wife
and,
still
at
No.
1,
the
late
queen.)
“They
are
very
good
at
keeping
calm
and
carrying
on,
no
matter
what’s
going
on
behind
closed
doors,”
royals
correspondent
Sharon
Carpenter told
E!
News
after
Charles’
announcement. “We
continually
see
this
commitment
to
duty
no
matter
what.”
At
the
same
time,
she
added, “We look
at
them
oftentimes
as
made
of
steel
and
just
nothing
affects
them,
they
aren’t
led
by
their
emotions
and
they
never
seem
to
be
ill,
they’re
not
real
people. Knowing
they’re
just
like
us
is
a
really
good
way
to
encourage
others
to
be
on
top
of
their
own
health.”
