Prince William says his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales is “doing really well” following her battle with cancer.
Prince William says Catherine, Princess of Wales is ‘doing really well’
The 42-year-old royal gave a rare update on Catherine’s health amid his four-day visit to South Africa for his environmental efforts – almost two months after she declared she was “cancer-free” on September 9, after completing chemotherapy treatment.
Speaking in Cape Town ahead of his Earthshot Prize awards ceremony on Wednesday (06.11.24), he said of his wife: “She’s doing really well thanks. And I hopefully she is watching tonight. Cheering me on.
“She’s been amazing this whole year. I know she will be really keen to see tonight be a success.”
Catherine, also 42, took a break from royal duties in March, when she revealed that she had begun “preventative” chemotherapy for cancer.
The royal returned to official duties last month.
William was spotted wearing a friendship bracelet with beads reading “Papa”, and the future King explained that his nine-year-old daughter Prince Charlotte made it for him as a memory of the Taylor Swift concert they attended at Wembley Stadium in June.
The dotting dad – who also has Princes George, 11, and Louis, six, with Catherine – promised his little girl that he would keep wearing the trinket from their ‘Eras Tour’ experience.
He smiled: “This is a relic, if you like, from a Taylor Swift concert that my daughter decided that she wanted to create a bracelet for. She gave it to me when I came away. So I promised that wear it and try not to lose while I was out here.”
William celebrated his 42nd birthday at the Taylor concert and was seen ‘dad dancing’.
Alongside a selfie with the 34-year-old pop megastar, Catherine and their two eldest children, they wrote on their Instagram page: “Thank you Taylor Swift for a great evening!”
