Prince William allegedly wanted to cut back on royal duties in 2024 but was urged by his ailing father to "think again," according to a new book.

The claim was made by royal biographer Robert Jobson in "The Windsor Legacy," obtained exclusively by the U.K.’s DailyMail . According to the outlet, the British journalist said William was "shaken to the core" by the dual cancer diagnoses of his father and wife, Kate Middleton. Still, King Charles III denied his request.

Fox News Digital reached out to Kensington Palace for comment. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital, "We don’t comment on books."
