Kensington Palace has issued a statement confirming the next steps for Prince William following his wife Duchess Catherine's cancer diagnosis. The palace announced that Prince William will be resuming his regular royal duties after Catherine's cancer diagnosis was revealed. Catherine shared her battle with cancer in a heartfelt video message posted on March 22nd, two months after stepping back from royal duties in January due to undergoing major abdominal surgery.
Following the announcement, William and Catherine chose to spend Easter with their children George, Charlotte, and Louis at their home in Anmer Hall, Norfolk. William's most recent public appearance was in mid-March at an event raising awareness about homelessness, just three days before Catherine shared her chemotherapy journey in a video.
In a statement on Tuesday, Kensington Palace confirmed that Prince William will be visiting two charities in South London and the capital on Thursday. Prince Charles is also scheduled to visit Surplus to Supper, a charity working to combat food waste and food poverty in Siri and West London. Established in 2017, Surplus to Supper donates over three tons of surplus food daily to various local projects, including food banks, charities, schools, and community organizations. This month, the charity is set to reach a significant milestone of saving the equivalent of three million meals from going to landfill.
These updates come as the royal family endeavors to return to normalcy amid Catherine's ongoing cancer treatment and the public's interest in her condition. William was recently spotted cheering on his favorite team, Aston Villa, after their victory over French side Leo last Thursday. Meanwhile, other members of the royal family, such as Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and Princess Anne, are increasing their workload to support the monarchy during this time.
