Surprising update

William clarifies: This is how Princess Kate is doing

Prince William (41) has used an appointment in Newcastle to talk to members of the public. During his visit, the Prince gave a health update on Princess Kate (42), who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer.

Prince William visited a charity in Newcastle on Tuesday. "Free, life-saving treatment and support for men in crisis is what makes James' Place so exceptional at its centers across the country," an Instagram post from the couple's official account said of the appointment.

"We're proud to open the new Newcastle location today, which has already helped more than 140 men since it opened its doors in January."

Prince William can be seen in photos talking to men at the facility. The 41-year-old also used the visit to chat with passers-by on the street, taking photos and shaking hands with them.

"Can I ask you how your wife and children are?" a passer-by asked Prince William to his wife, who has cancer, according to the Daily Mail. The royal replied: "Everyone's fine, thank you. Yes, we're fine."

Princess Kate's courageous battle with cancer and her ongoing treatment have attracted the attention and compassion of the public. Despite her absence from public appearances, support within the royal family remains strong, as William emphasized during his visit.

Emotional return of King Charles
On Tuesday, King Charles also made his first appearance after the shocking diagnosis: together with his wife Camilla, he paid a symbolic visit to a cancer center in London. Television pictures showed the 75-year-old shaking hands before entering the Macmillan Center, where he spoke with patients about their experiences and treatment.

During the meeting with the patients, the 75-year-old repeatedly reached for their hands to give them strength and courage. A strength with which he himself has been fighting his own cancer for months.
