The Prince of Wales said he was thankful for “the kind messages of support for Catherine and for my father, especially in recent days”.
While his father, King Charles, has been sick with cancer, this was the first time Prince William spoke in public.
At an event to raise money for London’s Air Ambulance, the prince said, “It means a great deal to us all.”
There was also actor Tom Cruise as a guest. The prince told Cruise not to “borrow” any of the planes.
Even though it was funny, Prince William laughed about the event for his return to official duties. This was because his father’s illness and his wife Catherine’s recovery from abdominal surgery had been all over the news about the Royal Family.
