Prince William Skipped Olympics for Wife's Health

Prince William revealed that he skipped the Paris Olympics to avoid the risk of contracting COVID-19 and passing it to his wife, Princess Kate, who was undergoing chemotherapy at the time. The decision came after reading about British swimmer Adam Peaty's positive COVID test during the Games. Although eager to attend, William prioritized his wife's health, who has since completed her chemotherapy and is now cancer-free. He shared these insights during a visit to Birtley, where he engaged with Olympic and Paralympic swimmers and highlighted the Royal Foundation's swimming initiatives. William mentioned his family's love for water activities, with Prince George recently taking up scuba diving, and expressed excitement over the recent success of his favorite sports teams.
