Prince of Wales says 2024 was 'hardest year' of his life

The Prince of Wales has told Schitt's Creek star Eugene Levy that 2024 was the "hardest year" of his life.

The future king told the Hollywood star about last year, which saw his wife, the Princess of Wales, and his father, the King, both undergoing treatment for cancer.

The pair were catching up over a pint in a pub as part of Apple TV+ series The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy, which will air next month.

In the episode Living The Royal Life In The UK, William tells Levy: "I'd say 2024 was the hardest year I've ever had.

"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 also saw Levy invited to "pop down" to Windsor Castle for a private tour by the prince.

Levy, 78, can be seen reading out an invitation saying: "I heard that your travels have brought you to the UK and I wondered if you might like to see Windsor Castle?

"If you're free at 10 tomorrow, why don't you pop down to the Castle for a private tour.

"Would be great to see you!"

After touring the castle, Levy asks William what he does when he is at home, and the prince laughs and replies: "Sleep. When you have three small children, sleep is an important part of my life."

New episodes of The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy will premiere weekly until the finale on 31 October 2025.

The special episode with William will air on 3 October.
