Prince William returned to royal duties for the first time after a pause and spoke about his father with cancer and his wife's surgery

British Prince William has returned to his royal duties, from which he had taken a break due to the treatment of his wife, Kate Middleton. Since it recently became known that King Charles III had been diagnosed with cancer, William was forced to take on some of his responsibilities. Thus, the 41-year-old prince attended the Air Ambulance Charity gala dinner in London, where he spoke publicly for the first time about the illness of his loved ones.

William thanked people for their support and concern for the health of the King and Princess of Wales. The Independent reports.

"I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the kind words of support for Catherine and my father, especially in recent days. It means a lot to all of us," said the main heir to the British throne.

The event was attended by the world-famous American actor Tom Cruise, who became a guest of the gala charity evening.

As a reminder, on January 16, Kate Middleton was hospitalized for abdominal surgery. Representatives of the British royal family reported at the time that the 42-year-old Princess of Wales would stay in the hospital for about two weeks. On January 29, Catherine was discharged from the hospital.

It is known that after discharge from the hospital, the Princess of Wales will "work from bed" and will not appear in public until Easter, so several events planned for this time had to be canceled.

Meanwhile, on January 25, the King of the United Kingdom was hospitalized for prostate enlargement. The day before, on January 17, Buckingham Palace reported that during a routine checkup, Charles was found to have a benign tumor that was "treatable." Eventually, the monarch arrived at a hospital in London, where he underwent a "corrective procedure."

On February 5, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer. The type of the disease was not disclosed, but it is clear that it is related to a recent surgery and is not prostate cancer. Doctors noticed it when he was undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate.
