Prince of Wales remains dedicated to duty as monarch recovers from cancer treatment side effects
Prince William has issued an uplifting statement following King Charles III’s recent health scare, demonstrating quiet strength as he continues his royal work while his father recovers.
On Thursday, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the King was hospitalised for observation after experiencing temporary side effects related to his ongoing cancer treatment. While Charles paused his public engagements, the Prince of Wales travelled to Aberdeen to celebrate a milestone in his homelessness initiative, Homewards UK.
After the visit, William shared a message on Instagram, writing:
"An inspiring day in Aberdeen yesterday seeing all the work being done by Homewards and their partners in the area to support those in the city with lived experience of homelessness."
Launched in 2023 through his Royal Foundation, Homewards UK aims to end homelessness across the country within five years. Despite concern over his father’s condition, William’s appearance highlighted his steadfast commitment to royal responsibilities.
On Friday, March 29, the Palace confirmed that the King’s engagements had been postponed as a precaution. Following a brief hospital stay, he returned to Clarence House and resumed light duties, including reviewing documents and making calls. He was later seen heading to his Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire to rest.
While Charles continues his recovery, Palace insiders maintain that his ability to carry out royal duties remains “unaltered.” Meanwhile, Prince William’s calm leadership and reassuring presence reflect his readiness to support the monarchy during this challenging period.
