Prince William Allegedly Fears He Could Go Blind After Admitting He Has Poor Eyesight

Prince William, allegedly, fears that he could go blind.

National Enquirer picked up Prince William’s previously revealed that he was poor eyesight and turned it in a soap opera-like story this week.

The tabloid reported that the Duke of Cambridge is worried that his poor eyesight could result in blindness in just five years. An unnamed source allegedly told the tabloid that the palace is trying to do everything that they can to make sure that Prince William always stays healthy.

“The palace is desperately trying to keep William’s health struggle secret, but he let the cat out of the bag himself. He publicly admitted his vision is failing – then tried to downplay it, joking it made it easier for him to conquer the stage fright because the audience is ‘just a blur.’ But behind palace walls, I’m told he’s terrified of going blind,” the source said.

According to the source, Prince William’s eyesight has become so bad that he could barely read a newspaper. And in order for him to read small letters, he allegedly needs to wear contact lenses.

“It’s a devastating blow to a prince, who’s a hands-on dad. As his children grow up, William wants to participate in all their activities – soccer, polo, horseback riding, and so much more. Now, all that is in danger,” the source said.

The tabloid claimed to have spoken to someone close to Prince William, who insisted that he’s doing fine. However, unnamed palace courtiers allegedly leaked that information that Kate Middleton’s husband has been consulting with top doctors to save his eyesight.

However, National Enquirer insisted that Prince William could be fighting a losing battle.

“Several eye diseases and conditions can lead to blindness including glaucoma, optic neuritis, and infections. Diabetes is the leading cause. While there are some treatments, nothing really works well. The loss of sight is progressive regardless. It’s a frightening situation and a very serious situation,” Dr. Gabe Mirkin said.

However, the physician wasn’t the one that has been allegedly treating the future king. As such, he may simply be talking about eyesight problems in general and not about Prince William’s alleged case.

As such, one should take the claims made by the tabloid with a grain of salt. Prince William isn’t losing his eyesight. And he’s not worried that he could eventually go blind.

However, it is true that the Duke of Cambridge admitted to having poor eyesight.
