Prince William returned to his royal duties Wednesday after briefly stepping back to look after his wife Kate Middleton as she recovers from abdominal surgery.
The 41-year-old Prince of Wales attended a gala fundraising dinner for London’s Air Ambulance Charity where he also addressed photographers for the first time since Buckingham Palace announced his father King Charles’ cancer diagnosis.
“We really appreciate everyone’s kind messages,” he said. “Thank you.”
Inside at the podium, William added, “I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you also for the kind of messages of support for Catherine and my father, especially in recent days. It means a great deal to us all.”
“The past few weeks have a rather medical focus, so I thought I’d come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all,” he joked.
William socialized with “Top Gun: Maverick” star Tom Cruise. The men seemed to admire each other’s black-tie wear as they both opted for a bowtie.
