First Public Statement From Prince William On His Wife And Father, King Charles

As King Charles undergoes weekly cancer treatments in London, his son Prince William has taken it upon himself to stand in for his father and carry out royal duties on behalf of the crown.

Moreover, William is also occupied with supporting his wife as she recuperates from her scheduled abdominal surgery and caring for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Recently, William attended an event to raise funds for London's Air Ambulance. During the event, he expressed gratitude for the support shown to his wife and father, stating, "Thank you for the kind messages of support for Catherine and for my father, especially in recent days."

Among the other attendees was actor Tom Cruise, with whom the Prince shared a light-hearted joke, advising him not to "borrow" any of the helicopters.

"If you wouldn’t mind refraining from borrowing either of the new helicopters for the next Mission Impossible, it would be appreciated," the Prince quipped.

"We've all noticed on our screens that, how shall I put it, you seem to have a unique perspective on what constitutes normal wear and tear compared to the rest of us," he remarked.

Discussing the significance of the event, William remarked, "It's safe to say the past few weeks have been rather medically oriented. So I thought I'd attend an air ambulance function to take a break from it all!"

"But, on a serious note, we're gathered here tonight to support as many people as possible in accessing top-notch care through the invaluable services of London Air Ambulance. Having served as a pilot for East Anglia Air Ambulance, I understand firsthand the critical importance of the work performed by air ambulance teams nationwide. The ability to provide urgent medical care wherever injury occurs can truly make a life-saving difference."

"Here in London, the current aircraft have performed admirably. However, our capital city requires a new fleet, and time is of the essence. The urgency is evident in the name of the Appeal itself. By September, we aim to have two new red helicopters, equipped with state-of-the-art features like night vision, operating in our skies."

During his treatment, King Charles will not be attending public events. Between appointments, he is residing at the Sandringham estate.

The specifics of his cancer diagnosis have not been disclosed to the public.
