Prince William<\/a> gave one of his most personal interviews<\/a> ever while speaking with Eugene Levy in an episode of Apple TV+’s The Reluctant Traveler<\/a>. In the new episode, released Friday, October 3, the Prince of Wales discussed everything from Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis<\/a> to his kids not having cell phones<\/a>, and he also opened up about how becoming King<\/a> didn’t necessarily stress him out, but “family” was the one thing that did.<\/p>\n

Levy joined Prince William for a tour of Windsor Castle<\/a> in the episode, asking the royal, “Do you ever get overwhelmed just by the sheer history of the place?” The Prince of Wales explained that while he didn’t feel overwhelmed by “history,” per se, it was something that he was “careful” to consider. “I think if you\u2019re not careful, history can be a real weight and an anchor around you and you can feel suffocated by it and restricted by it too much,” he admitted.<\/p>\n

After explaining he wants to shake things up<\/a> a bit as King while also respecting “tradition,” Levy wondered what did overwhelm the Prince of Wales. “Yeah, I think stuff to do with family overwhelms me quite a bit,” William replied. “You know, worry or stress around the family side of things does overwhelm me quite a bit. But in terms of doing the job and things like that, I don\u2019t feel too overwhelmed by that. Not now, anyway.”<\/p>\n

Although he didn’t mention the ongoing rift with his brother<\/a>, Prince Harry<\/a>, or the recent scandals<\/a> surrounding his uncle, Prince Andrew<\/a>, the Prince of Wales said, “When it\u2019s to do with family and things like that, then that\u2019s where I start getting a bit overwhelmed\u2014as I think most people would, because it\u2019s more personal, it\u2019s more about feeling, it\u2019s more about upsetting the rhythm.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Multiple royal sources have recently noted that Prince William feels the family should take a harder stance<\/a> on Prince Andrew<\/a> and Sarah Ferguson<\/a>, while The King doesn’t want to disown his brother.<\/p>\n

As for Prince Harry, he held a private meeting<\/a> with King Charles<\/a> last month when he was visiting London for several events related to his charitable causes. William, however, did not see his brother. The Prince of Wales mentioned Harry once during The Reluctant Traveler, noting that when it comes to Prince George taking the throne<\/a> one day, he wants to make sure that his son doesn’t have to deal with the same issues that he and Harry did.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do, a world and a job that actually does impact people\u2019s lives for the better,” the Prince of Wales said. “That is caveated with, I hope we don\u2019t go back to some of the practices in the past, that Harry and I had to grow up with\u2014and I\u2019ll do everything I can to make sure we don\u2019t regress in that situation.”<\/p>\n
