During his gala appearance, Prince William expressed moving words about Princess Kate and King Charles, without forgetting to brighten the atmosphere.
London – It was undoubtedly a challenging day for Prince William (41).
He had originally planned not to take on any official engagements until Easter to look after Kate Middleton, 42, who is recovering from abdominal surgery.
But King Charles III's cancer diagnosis.
(75) caused William to return to the public eye earlier than planned.
Prince William skillfully diffuses the tense situation with “medical” humor
After an award ceremony at Windsor Castle, Prince William attended the London Air Ambulance gala dinner in the evening.
As patron of the charity, whose proceeds will be used, among other things, for new rescue helicopters, this is a cause close to his heart.
But it was also an emotional challenge, because after the announcement of King Charles' cancer, everyone was waiting for a statement from the Prince of Wales.

In his speech, Prince William was
open 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,” were his emotional words.
But Prince William also knows how to ease the 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 primary concern is to support his wife and family - but he has not given a timetable for this," a source reveals.
Although William has resumed his duties for the gala dinner, it is not expected to "see him again so quickly afterwards." After King Charles' austerity measures, there is enormous pressure on Prince William as not many royals are able to do so to stand in for the monarch.
