King Charles Returns to Royal Duties Amid Cancer Battle
View StoryPrince William recently returned to public royal duties for the first time since Kate’s diagnosis. His visit to Newcastle included stops at Low Carbon Materials, a 2022 Earthshot Prize finalist, and James’ Place, a mental health organization.
Last month, the Princess of Wales, 42, shared a video revealing she was battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy.
She said at the time, "In January I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. At the time, it was thought that my condition was noncancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."
William’s father, King Charles III, is also battling cancer. He just returned to public duties on Tuesday.
Charles and his wife Queen Camilla made a visit to the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre in London.
During their visit, the royals chatted with medical specials and patients about the importance of early cancer detection.
