Royal observers rejoiced as they witnessed the Prince of Wales resuming his royal duties on Thursday, following a period spent away from the public eye with his family due to the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis.

Prince William, aged 41, paid a visit to the food distribution charity Surplus to Supper, which endeavors to address the gap between food waste and food poverty in Surrey and London.

After lending a hand in the kitchen, the father-of-three assisted in loading crates of food items into a van before joining the delivery to the Hanworth Centre Hub in Feltham, west London.

Kensington Palace shared images from William’s engagement on social media, prompting an outpouring of supportive messages from the Waleses’ followers in the comments section.

“So wonderful to see you back at work Your Royal Highness I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales is doing well, sending you and your family my prayers and love during this time,” one read.

“It’s great to see William out and about! I’m happy to see The Royals supporting such important causes,” another said, while a third added: “Very good work! Keep up the brave front and positive attitude William.”

Numerous followers also extended their heartfelt wishes to the Princess of Wales, who is presently undergoing preventive chemotherapy.

In an emotional video released on March 22, Kate, aged 42, disclosed that she is undergoing cancer treatment, following the discovery of the disease in post-operative tests subsequent to her abdominal surgery in January.

The Princess said: “This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.

“But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.”

Subsequently, the Prince and Princess enjoyed the Easter holidays in the company of their three children: Prince George, aged ten, Princess Charlotte, aged eight, and Prince Louis, who will turn six on Monday.

William’s most recent public engagement occurred on March 19, during which he visited Sheffield to advocate for his Homewards homelessness campaign.
