Prince William Shares Update on Kate Middleton and Their Children During Impromptu Walkabout

The Prince of Wales, 41, chatted with well-wishers who came out to see him following his stop at James’ Place Newcastle in northeast England on April 30. William gave a brief update on his wife, who postponed public-facing royal duties while receiving cancer treatment, and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, while speaking to two women who draped Union Jack flags around their shoulders.

Do you mind if I ask how your wife and children are?” one woman asked as seen in a video shared to Instagram by the fan account WalesVideos.

“We’re all doing well, thank you,” the royal replied.

“And obviously Catherine?” the well-wisher continued.

“We’re all doing well,” Prince William said.

Prince William’s visit to northeast England, which included visits to 2022 Earthshot Prize finalist Low Carbon Materials and mental health organization James’ Place, marked his third day of forward-facing royal engagements since his wife announced her cancer diagnosis on March 22.

Princess Kate, 42, shared in a self-written video message that she was undergoing chemotherapy after post-operative tests related to her abdominal surgery in January “found cancer had been present.” She may have strategically waited to share the health update until Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 6, were out of school on Easter break, creating space for the family to spend time together privately.
