A royal insider said Prince William and Kate Middleton are extremely worried about King Charles’ health as the royal family deals with the fallout from Andrew’s arrest.
They told Daily Mail that the Prince of Wales appeared visibly stressed at the BAFTAs and even admitted that he was “not in a calm state.”
The source said William’s candid confession at the award show reflected the strain on his cancer-stricken father and the wider family.
They added that William and Kate are increasingly worried about the King, who continues to battle cancer and is said to be exhausted by the scandal.
“Obviously William is not feeling calm and he would have spoken on behalf of them both,” the source said.
They added, “It’s a terrible situation and they are very concerned about the health of the King and the impact this will be having on him. He is exhausted and it's draining for him.
“Also as parents of young children, to be reading all of this is pretty awful and they are clearly concerned.
“William let this slip out last during a conversation and he would have done that on purpose, that is very clear. But Catherine has kept very quiet.”
