Prince William returns to his royal duties
Prince William resumed his royal duties after taking some time off following his wife Princess Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis.
The Prince of Wales, 41, visited West London and Surrey on Thursday to raise awareness about the work of community and environmental impact organizations in the region. First, he observed how the food distribution charity Surplus to Supper delivers, sorts and repackages unused food to community groups, and he later stopped by a youth center that receives the surplus food and distributes it to people in need.
“How chopped up is this gonna be?” William stated in social media footage of him cooking at the organization’s kitchen before poking fun at his chopping skills. “It’s quite hard to talk, have this light here and not [prevent] my finger [from] coming off,” he joked.
In another social media clip from the event, a volunteer gifted William with get well cards for Kate. “Oh, you’re very kind,” he replied.
William took a brief break from his royal responsibilities after Kate, 42, announced in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer after undergoing abdominal surgery in January.
One month earlier, Buckingham Palace announced that William’s father, King Charles III, had been diagnosed with cancer.
