Prince William reveals first public engagements since Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis

Prince William will return to work this week with his first public engagement since the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis was announced.

The Prince of Wales, 41, will visit a surplus food redistribution charity in Surrey on Thursday, before going on to a youth centre in west London that receives deliveries from the organisation.

The two visits will be his first since decamping to Norfolk with the Princess of Wales and their three children for the Easter holidays.

The Princess announced on March 22 that she was undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy treatment.

She revealed in a video message that following successful abdominal surgery in January, post-operative tests found that “cancer had been present”.

The statement was released to coincide with the end of the school term, allowing the Prince and Princess to shield Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, from the ensuing publicity. The children are expected to return to school for the summer term on Wednesday.
