Amid
King Charles' weekly cancer treatments in London, his son Prince William has
taken on the responsibility of fulfilling royal duties on behalf of his father
and the crown.
In
addition to his royal obligations, William has been supporting his wife, who is
currently recovering from planned 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. There, he
expressed gratitude for the supportive messages concerning Catherine and his
father, stating, "Thank you for the kind messages of support for Catherine
and for my father, especially in recent days."
Among
the attendees was actor Tom Cruise, whom the Prince jokingly advised against
"borrowing" any of the helicopters.
"If
you wouldn’t mind not borrowing either of the new helicopters for the next
Mission Impossible, it would be appreciated," the Prince quipped.
"We
have all seen on our screens that, how can I put it, you seem to have a
different take on normal wear and tear to the rest of us," he added with a
smile.

Speaking
of the event's importance, William remarked, “It’s fair to say the past few
weeks have had a rather ‘medical’ focus. So I thought I’d come to an air
ambulance function to get away from it all!
“But,
seriously, we gather tonight to help as many people as possible benefit from
top-class care in the silhouette of London Air Ambulance’s flying lifelines. As
a former pilot for East Anglia Air Ambulance, I know just how vital the work of
air ambulance teams across the country is and the truly life-saving difference
it can make to deliver urgent medical care wherever injury strikes.
“Here
in London, the current aircraft have served magnificently. But our capital city
needs a new fleet. And we are Up Against Time. The clue really is in the
Appeal’s name. By September, we need the two new red birds – decked with the
latest kit such as night vision – in our skies.

The
prince was also seen chatting with Ellen Convery, formerly known as Ellen
White, who played more than 100 games for the England women’s football team.
During
his treatment, King Charles will not be attending public events. Between treatments,
he’s spending time at the Sandringham estate.
Details
of the type of cancer he has been diagnosed with have not been disclosed to the
public.
