In a heartfelt update during his recent engagement in South Wales, Prince William provided encouraging news about his wife, Princess Catherine, as she continues her recovery from cancer.
The visit took place at Swiss Valley Community Primary School in Llanelli, where the future king was warmly welcomed by crowds who had gathered to see him.
This appearance came just hours after Princess Kate released a deeply personal video confirming her return to public duties following her chemotherapy treatment.
As he arrived at the school, Prince William was met with a flurry of well-wishes and gifts for his wife.
Among those eager to speak with him was 74-year-old Pauline Thomas, who inquired about Princess Catherine’s health.
With a reassuring smile, the prince shared a brief but positive update: “It’s good news but there is still a long way to go.” His words offered hope to those concerned about the princess’s ongoing battle.
The day was not without its lighter moments.
During a walkabout, a young sea cadet pointed out that the prince had a bug on him.
In a playful exchange, William asked the boy if he wanted to keep it, humorously handing over the insect while acknowledging the keen observation.
“Good spot, it must have followed me here,” he quipped, eliciting laughter from the crowd.
While at the school, Prince William interacted with students involved in the upcoming 2024 Erd Eisteddfod—a week-long celebration of Welsh culture and language.
One standout student was 10-year-old Ruby Davies, who gained viral fame earlier this year for her spirited performance in the individual recital category.
Their meeting highlighted the prince’s commitment to engaging with the youth and celebrating local achievements.
William’s schedule was packed, reflecting his dedication to various causes.
After leaving the school, he made his way to the Wales Air Ambulance Headquarters to honor Air Ambulance Week.
He took the time to meet with the staff, recognizing their crucial role in providing emergency medical services across the region.
Later in the day, he visited Parc y Scarlets, home to the Scarlets rugby union team.
