Prince William says Princess Kate Middleton is getting better amid cancer treatment
Prince William gave a health update on his wife, Princess Kate Middleton, as the latter continues to undergo treatment for cancer.
In a video taken during a June 5 event for the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings, the Prince of Wales can be seen chatting with a veteran, who asked him if Kate was “getting any better.”
To which, he responded: “Yes. She’d have loved to be here today.”
“I was reminding everyone her grandmother served at Bletchley Park, so she had quite a few in common with some of the ladies here who were at Bletchley,” he continued.
“Oh, thank goodness,” the veteran said.
“It’s lovely to see you. I will see you in five years’ time for the 85th,” William replied.
William returned to public duties in April. He was seen visiting a food charity and youth center after being out of sight since Kate revealed she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy in March.
Kate underwent abdominal surgery last January and has been on a break from public duties to continue her recovery. She hasn’t appeared in a public event since December.
Kate didn’t disclose her condition to the public at the time, though a source told NBC News that it was non-cancerous.
Tests after her surgery, however, showed that cancer had been present.
She was subsequently advised to undergo preventive chemotherapy and is now in the early stages of the treatment.
Kensington Palace said Kate would return to official duties "when she is cleared to do so by her medical team."
