Following the release of the devastating health verdict for Prince William, royal admirers are alarmed

The normalcy of Prince William’s life is starting to return. He has faced several difficulties this year as a result of his wife Kate Middleton undergoing chemotherapy, which has forced the future king to shoulder heavy household duties. Kate Middleton declared she was finished with chemotherapy in a recent video that she published.

With that, Prince William, as a husband, can exhale in relief as a new chapter in the life of the Prince and Princess of Wales hopefully begins. He will still be plagued by a lot of troubles in the interim because of his strained relationship with his younger brother, Prince Harry.

The members of the royal family don’t often change their looks. But in William’s case, his unexpected appearance with a beard earlier this summer stunned admirers all around the world. While some admirers applauded the future king for adopting the new look, others expressed concern over one particular element. How is the prince faring?

When Kate Middleton and King Charles were each diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, royal enthusiasts were taken aback. In addition to disclosing her illness in March, the Princess of Wales resigned from her royal responsibilities to concentrate on her medical care and recuperation.

Several admirers claimed that Prince William didn’t appear well in photos of him that were shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media account from the Sovereign’s Parade at the Royal Air Force College Cranwell, as Amomama reported. “Is this William?” One fan questioned, “Why does he look so old and gaunt?” “You appear to be unhealthy and to have lost two stones. Now you’re sick too?” enquired a second, more concerned fan.

On the same theme, a number of additional users left comments. “He looks sick and too skinny,” remarked a third, and “He’s looking very thin,” noted a fourth. I’m hoping all is OK with him. “Definitely looks tired, it’s understandable, such a heavy weight to carry, emotionally,” commented a different royal fan.

It’s not necessary to limit Prince William’s bearded appearance to a fashion statement.

Judi James, in an interview with The Sun, said that the Prince of Wales’s beard suggests he is putting more of an emphasis on being a family man and “dedicating himself totally to time off” rather than feeling the need to be clean-shaven when carrying out his royal duties.

James further asserted that since his wife Kate Middleton is “back at his side in public again,” the beard might be a “symbolic form of celebration.”
