Thursday marked Prince William’s return to official activities. He made his first public appearances since his wife Catherine shockingly discovered that she had cancer. He visited a charity before an upcoming youth center event.
William, the eldest son of King Charles III and heir apparent to the throne, has remained mostly hidden since Catherine, Princess of Wales, revealed last month that she was receiving prophylactic chemotherapy.
Following the news that the 42-year-old was having treatment for cancer found during abdominal surgery, family members, the public, and world leaders all expressed their support.
Just a few weeks prior, Charles had disclosed that he was receiving treatment for an unidentified type of cancer, putting the British monarchy in jeopardy as two of its most prominent members battled grave illnesses at the same time.
For the first time since late February, William performed royal responsibilities by visiting a charity that redistributes excess food in Surrey, southwest of London.
Following that, the 41-year-old was scheduled to visit a youth center located west of the capital.
Kensington Palace announced in advance that the prince was expected to meet volunteers and assist chefs in the kitchen during the Surplus to Supper charity event.
William has been spotted in public, despite it being his first formal engagement in weeks. He was last recently seen with his 10-year-old son Prince George at an Aston Villa football game last week.
