The heir apparent to the British throne, who was back to his royal duties on Tuesday attending the grand opening of James Place Newcastle, was asked how his wife and three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — were doing as the Princess of Wales undergoes preventative chemotherapy to treat the undisclosed form of the disease.

“All doing well, thank you,” William said, as seen in Daily Mail footage posted on social media. “We’re all doing well.

Representatives for Kensington Palace did not immediately respond Wednesday to The Times’ request for additional comment.

Q&A: What oncologists can glean from Kate Middleton’s cancer announcement

March 23, 2024

William, 41, returned to his public duties in late April, a few weeks after his wife revealed that she had cancer after undergoing “major abdominal surgery” in London in January. The palace and royal family have provided little to no substantial updates about the 42-year-old’s health since then.

Catherine’s unprecedented royal announcement came after months of speculation about her condition and whereabouts, resulting in intense public pressure for the British royal family and as King Charles III, William’s father, is also being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer.

In late April, the palace shared a portrait of Prince Louis on the couple’s official Instagram account that was shot by Catherine for the young prince’s 6th birthday. Earlier this week, the palace shared another post marking William and Catherine’s 13th wedding anniversary. Palace photos, especially those shot by Catherine, had come under scrutiny in the weeks leading up to the princess’ revelation after the institution released a doctored photo of the mother of three that only intensified conjecture about her well-being.

Catherine, an upper-middle-class commoner who married into the British royal family in 2011, had also been plagued by rumors about trouble in her marriage during that time. In her announcement, she said it has been “an incredibly tough couple of months” for their family, but having William by her side had been “a great source of comfort and reassurance.”

She also explained that she waited to go public with her diagnosis because she and William needed to take time to inform their young children.
