For the first time since his father, King Charles III, revealed his cancer diagnosis and his wife, Kate, was sent to the hospital for stomach surgery, Prince William is returning to his royal duties.
For the first time since his father, King Charles III, revealed his cancer diagnosis and his wife, Kate, was sent to the hospital for stomach surgery, Prince William resumed his royal duties on Wednesday. At Windsor Castle, William conducted an investiture ceremony. On Wednesday night, he is scheduled to attend a fundraising event for the London Air Ambulance Charity. The 41-year-old heir apparent took a temporary leave of absence from public life last month to assist in taking care of Kate and their kids after she had surgery for an unidentified illness. It is anticipated that the Princess of Wales, formerly known as Kate Middleton, will not return to public life until April.
“His absence is putting a lot of pressure on the other members of the royal family, who are certainly up to it,” said Sally Bedell Smith, author of “Prince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life.” “And having one of the great stars of the royal family, the Princess of Wales, in recuperation from surgery” magnifies those strains.

Following the diagnosis, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Downing Street office said that he would speak with the king over the phone during their weekly audience. The House of Windsor is going through a difficult period due to Charles’ illness. The monarch, who took the throne barely 17 months ago, has promised to cut the expenses associated with the monarchy, a measure he intends to do in part by limiting the number of “working royals” who receive public funding for their royal duties. It will be harder for the family to keep up, though, with two of the most noticeable members absent due to illness.

Apart from the extensively reported fanfare of royal processions and state visits, the Windsors participate in hundreds of obscure events annually to honor the achievements of the people and commemorate community milestones like the building of libraries and community centers. Numerous nonprofit organizations value royal visits because they increase their visibility and legitimacy in the eyes of prospective benefactors.

Less than 24 hours after Buckingham Palace revealed the king’s cancer diagnosis, Harry flew from California to London. With Harry publicly criticizing the royal family for unconscious racism and complaining about the treatment of his American biracial wife, former actress Meghan Markle, by palace staff, there is optimism that the two might mend their strained relationship. After leaving their royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan—who were previously thought to be rising stars in the family who could help the Windsors engage with a younger audience—now reside in California.
