Prince William has inadvertently made a shock admission about his own health: namely, his failing eyesight.

In the recent BBC One documentary project Football, Prince William and Our Mental Health, the 38-year-old royal admitted he has to wear glasses to read his speeches – and added that it had also helped him overcome anxiety because it causes the faces in the audience to become blurry.
“[T]hat’s what helped because I couldn’t see everyone’s eyes; you don’t feel like the whole weight of the room is watching you,” Prince William admitted.
The innocuous remark sparked a report in the National Enquirer, claiming it is symptomatic of a more serious blindness concern. The report even claimed the prince was consulting with top doctors to save his eyesight.
Meanwhile, Prince William has increasingly been taking on more royal responsibility over the last few years to prepare himself for the eventual day when he takes the throne.
But despite the Duke seemingly readying himself for the top job, a royal expert has revealed that the 38-year-old is not “in a rush” to become king while his father is still alive.
Speaking to Fox News, royal commentator Nick Bullen said whether people like it or not, there is no doubt Prince Charles will be the next to take the throne – and Wills wants it that way.
“You can say it as much as you like but it’s never going to happen,” Nick began.
“Prince Charles, should he still be alive when the Queen very sadly dies, will be the King. There is no discussion.
“That’s what the Queen wants, that’s what the Prince of Wales wants and I know that’s what William wants,” he added.
