Prince William gives two-word Princess Kate cancer update as he chats about family

Prince William has provided a succinct update on Princess Catherine's health, stating she is "doing well" amidst her cancer treatment. The Duke of Cornwall shared the reassuring news during his engagement in the Isles of Scilly today (May 10).

The confirmation of the princess's ongoing recovery from cancer explains why Prince William felt comfortable undertaking a two-day visit to the south-west without his wife and children, who remained at Windsor. Despite being away, the future king's thoughts were with his family, as he mentioned that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis were "very jealous" of his trip to Cornwall. He expressed intentions to return with his children later in the summer season.

Prince William's conversation took place at St Mary's Community Hospital on the Isles of Scilly, where plans for a new health and social care facility were discussed. This marks his inaugural visit to Cornwall since acquiring the title of Duke of Cornwall following his father's ascension to the throne.

In one of his final public duties in the region before reuniting with his family, Prince William received a letter from matron Lynda McHale's granddaughter, expressing well-wishes for both Princess Kate and King Charles in their battles with cancer. This week has been particularly uplifting for the Royal family, with King Charles resuming a more active schedule after receiving approval from his medical team, reports the Express.

Both Kate and Charles have been undergoing treatment for undisclosed types of cancer, with Kate's being "preventative chemotherapy", a fact she disclosed herself in March. The princess has yet to return to her public duties, with no set date for when she plans to do so as she continues her private recovery.
