Prince William Misses Olympics for Family Health

Prince William revealed that he did not attend the Paris Olympics due to concerns about bringing Covid home to his wife, Kate Middleton, who was undergoing chemotherapy at the time. During his visit to the newly reopened Birtley Community Pool, he expressed his regret at missing the games and shared that he and his family were 'glued' to the television watching the events. He emphasized the importance of swimming, noting that both he and Kate love the sport, and highlighted their son George's enthusiasm for scuba diving. The Royal Foundation, which he manages with Kate, announced a new partnership with the pool to support swimming lessons and lifeguard training, aiming to replicate similar initiatives across the UK. Kate recently completed her chemotherapy, and the family has been navigating the challenges of her health while maintaining public engagements. William's comments came amidst a backdrop of personal family struggles, including his father's ongoing cancer treatment.
