Prince William interrupted his time out for a charity gala and had emotional words about Princess Kate and King Charles.
But the heir to the throne also knows how to lighten the mood again.
London – It certainly wasn't an easy day for Prince William (41).
He actually didn't want to make any appointments until Easter in order to look after Kate Middleton (42) at home in Adelaide Cottage, who will be out for weeks after her abdominal surgery.
But after King Charles III.
(75) When cancer was diagnosed, William bravely reported back early.
Sovereign Prince William defuses the situation with “medical” jokes
After an award ceremony at Windsor Castle, Prince William attended the London Air Ambulance gala dinner in the evening.
William is the patron of the charity, and proceeds from the gala are intended to finance, among other things, new helicopters for the rescue workers.
For Prince William, who is himself a trained helicopter pilot, it was a matter of the heart, but also an emotional challenge, because after King Charles' cancer became known, everyone was waiting for a comment from the Prince of Wales.

In his speech, Prince William spoke
openly about the health of Princess Kate and King Charles, according to
The Mirror .
“I would like to take this opportunity to also thank you for the kind messages of support for Catherine and my father, particularly over the last few days.
“It means a lot to all of us,” said Williams’ emotional words.
But Prince William also knows how to ease people's worries about Kate and Charles with a little joke.
It's fair to say that the last few weeks have been more 'medical' in nature.
So I thought I'd come to an air rescue event to get away from it all!

“The prince has always made it clear that his first priority is to support his wife and family - but he has not given a timetable for this,” said an insider.
William has resumed his duties for the gala dinner, "but you shouldn't expect to see him again so quickly afterwards." Prince William is under enormous pressure after King Charles' austerity measures, because not many royals can step in for the monarch .
