Prince William recently provided an update on the health of the Princess of Wales, stating that she is doing well following her cancer diagnosis.
The royal shared this information during a visit to St. Mary’s Community Hospital on the Isles of Scilly.
Despite Kate undergoing treatment for abdominal cancer after her unexpected announcement in March, William continues to fulfill his royal duties.
During his visit, Prince William indulged in the region’s renowned savory delicacies and even mentioned that he plans to bring some back home for his family.
Referred to locally as the Duke of Cornwall, William arrived at St. Mary’s Harbour from Tresco, one of the smaller islands, earlier in the day.
He expressed that his children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, are envious of his trip and hinted at a potential visit to Cornwall with them later in the year.
Sporting stylish sunglasses to shield his eyes from the Cornish sun, the prince showcased a sophisticated look with a brown blazer, matching brogues, and navy chino trousers as he navigated the waterfront.
Upon disembarking from the boat named the Pegasus, adorned with the Duke of Cornwall flag, Prince William was greeted by a cheerful crowd of onlookers at St. Mary’s Maritime Harbour, marking the final day of his visit to the southwest region.
Amidst the warm reception, Prince William made a pit stop at the On the Quay cafe, where he purchased five traditional Cornish pasties, each priced at £5.50.
Engaging with tourists who had gathered to meet him, he expressed his desire to stay longer but revealed his plans to return home to Windsor later that afternoon.
Light-heartedly, he mentioned that his family, particularly the children, would not be pleased if he extended his stay further.
In addition to mingling with the public, the prince also met with representatives from local businesses situated along the harbor front of St. Mary’s, the largest of the Scilly Islands.
The harbor, overseen by the Duchy of Cornwall, serves as a vital maritime hub for the community, facilitating travel to and from the Isles of Scilly for various vessels, including tourist boats, sail training ships, fishing vessels, and cargo carriers.
