Prince William has today shared his delight that the Princess of Wales is cancer free after the news was publicly announced yesterday.
The heir to the throne, 42, reacted to the “good news” as he met with royal well-wishers outside a primary school in Llanelli, west Wales.
He told Pauline Thomas, 74: “It’s good news but there is still a long way to go.”
Kate, 42, appeared in a deeply personal video with her family on Monday confirming her positive progress and revealing she would start to “undertake light engagements” until the end of the year.
Her heartfelt message about her cancer journey is spoken over images showing the couple and their children enjoying the outdoors, with the couple cuddling as they hold hands.
She describes the past nine months since her serious health issues began as “incredibly tough for us as a family” and how the “cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone”, with the experience giving her a “new perspective on everything.”
Kate has stayed largely out of the public eye since her diagnosis, having only been seen at official engagements twice since January.
Upcoming engagements could now include a service for Remembrance Sunday in November and an annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey, which the princess has previously hosted.

Meghan Markle slammed for ‘tasteless’ decision on late queen’s anniversary
The Duchess of Sussex has been slammed for appearing at a book club event with Oprah Winfrey on the anniversary of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
As reported by the Express, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliam described the California appearance as a “dreadful mistake”.
He said: “I think it was an absolutely dreadful choice of venue to appear at, especially on a very special anniversary.
“I mean, we all know that when Meghan and Harry gave the interview on Oprah, which is infamous.
“Although they didn’t plan this, by the time the interview aired, Prince Philip was in hospital. We know that he died shortly afterwards.
“We also know that the interview was like exploding a nuclear weapon in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace.
“What is remembered is that the Queen’s comments. ‘Some recollections may vary’ sums it up very well. But that was absolutely tasteless place to be seen.
“We know that Meghan and Oprah are friends, but to be seen in a place which brought back memories of that interview on that anniversary is just extraordinary.”

However, the heir to the throne, 42, stressed that his wife’s battle with the disease, which began earlier this year, is far from over.

The insider alleged to HELLO! magazine that the couple’s next destinations are Lesotho and Botswana and said they plan to undertake a third tour before the end of 2024.
The Princess of Wales’s potential upcoming engagements

Princess of Wales’s new video ‘reinforces image of normal family’
The new video of the Wales family announcing that Kate is cancer free has been said to “reinforce the image of a normal family”.
Released yesterday, the poignant video sees the Princess of Wales reflect upon her cancer journey and the impact it has had on her life and family.
Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe said: “[The video] reinforces that brand of a close knit, normal family – normal in inverted commas, obviously.
“It follows from the one they released a couple of years ago around Easter time, which again was shot in Norfolk and showed them playing on the beach and toasting marshmallows and lots of hugs and happy children.
“That’s clearly the image that that William and Kate are trying to present, and I think they’re doing it quite successfully.”
