Prince William made his first public appearance since his wife, Kate Middleton, announced the completion of her cancer treatment. The Prince of Wales, 42, sported a new beard and greeted fans outside a school in Wales, expressing optimism about Middleton's prognosis. Royal watchers extended their well-wishes to the couple during the visit, with one fan even presenting a card addressed to the Princess of Wales.
Middleton, also 42, shared a video message on social media revealing the end of her chemotherapy treatment. She described the past nine months as challenging for the family and emphasized the unpredictable nature of her battle with cancer. Middleton expressed gratitude for the support received and her determination to stay cancer-free.
Despite completing chemotherapy, Middleton acknowledged the long road to full recovery and her intention to resume royal duties in the near future. Her cancer diagnosis in March, following abdominal surgery, came as a shock. Middleton continued fulfilling her royal responsibilities remotely while undergoing treatment.
She made a public appearance at the Trooping the Colour celebration in June and surprised attendees at the Wimbledon tennis championships a month later. Middleton's resilience and the outpouring of kindness and compassion from well-wishers have been sources of strength for the couple during this challenging time.
