Prince William's 'weight loss' after 'brutal' year by Kate Middleton's side took its toll
The Prince of Wales has sparked comments about his appearance
Prince William fans have appeared to notice a change in his appearance following previous weight loss claims.
The Prince of Wales is currently visiting Estonia. Recently, he’s also been seen out at the Commonwealth Day service and other engagements. As a result, some fans have been pointing out a change in his appearance.
Unfortunately, the signs of strain have been showing on the father-of -three’s face for several months, according to journalist and royal commentator Rebecca English.
Prince William ‘weight loss’ following ‘brutal’ 2024
In recent months, the future king has dubbed the past year as “brutal” in wake of his father’s cancer diagnosis, his wife Kate’s cancer treatment and other difficulties including Princess Anne’s horse riding accident and fresh allegations against Prince Andrew.
Writing for MailOnline, English pointed out just how difficult things must have been for William and how it has shown in his complexion.
It appears that Prince William has regained a little of the weight he lost during this past challenging year.
She penned back in November 2024: “Yes, he is thinner, more drawn around the face. Noticeably so, in fact. The new lines and shadows make clear that the trials and tribulations of the last year have taken their toll. But the prince has also been more animated, energised and, yes, even joyful than I have seen him for a very long time.
“It is clear he is still worried that his father is taking on too much and his ‘amazing’ wife is not, as she said herself, ‘out of the woods yet’. In fact William almost sounded surprised when it was remarked on yesterday how relaxed he seemed. But all that withstanding, he really does seem to be in a better place.”
Fans chime in on social media
Despite looking more rejuvenated, according to Rebecca English, some royal fans are concerned about William’s allegedly dwindling waistline – pointing out that it must be due to his lack of looking after himself.
English also pointed out that William has had a style revamp in recent months. She detailed: “He’s even had something of makeover, ditching the tried and trusted ‘chinos and crew-necked jumper combo’ so beloved of the country set for a stylish ‘eco-hipster’ look. Recyclable white trainers, rugged eco-friendly over-shirts and even ties made from plastic bottles and jackets thrifted from vintage stores in London, have all been on display, along with his clearly here-to-stay stubble.”
Royal fans spot Prince of Wales ‘change’
More recently, royal fans have seemingly noticed a difference in Prince William’s appearance during his latest public appearances.
One fan wrote on X this month: “It’s great to see that beautiful smile on Prince William’s face once again!!! You can tell things must be going really well in Catherine’s recovery that he’s actually starting to put on a little weight. So happy for them!”
Meanwhile, a second added: “Yes, I agree! Prince William looks like he’s putting a little weight back on, and that’s always a good sign.”
Another said: “It appears that Prince William has regained a little of the weight he lost during this past challenging year, and he looks marvelous.”
However, someone else voiced their opinion: “Prince William, looks like you lose a lot of weight. Please, take good care of yourself.”
We hope Prince William is feeling better after a testing past 12 months.
