The 39-year-old royal said in the show, “I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could, I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that.”
The Prince moreover said, “Throughout all these families I see it on a day-to-day basis the strength of the family unit coming together, I think any illness, any sickness brings families together.”

My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience.”
