Prince William warns Kate Middleton still has ‘a long way to go’ in first outing since her cancer-free reveal

Prince William beamed from ear to ear as he stepped out for the first time since the positive cancer update for his wife, Kate Middleton.

The Prince of Wales, 42, sported a rugged look featuring facial stubble as he was welcomed by cheering crowds outside a school in Wales on Tuesday.

Well-wishers braved the windy weather to share their supportive messages for Middleton, 42, who on Monday revealed that she has finished chemotherapy treatment and is now cancer-free.

As William thanked fans for their kind words, the heir to the throne did caution that while “it’s good news, there’s still a long way to go” in his wife’s cancer journey.

The presumptive next king — who was unaccompanied by the Princess of Wales — met with students and staffers at a local school, before visiting the Llanelli headquarters of the Wales Air Ambulance Charity, of which he is a patron.

Following his visit, William took to social media to reciprocate the warm welcome he had received.
