<p id=”par-1_39″>The Palace announced in mid-January that the Princess of Wales (<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/dont-be-fooled-this-is-what-kate-middleton-was-really-like-in-school.html/?swcfpc=1″>formerly known as Kate Middleton</a>) had abdominal surgery. But her lengthy recovery time away from public life sparked concerns about her health and plenty of wild conspiracies regarding her whereabouts.</p>
<p id=”par-2_65″>On March 22, Kate put an end to all that speculation with news that no one was expecting to hear, revealing <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/royal-commentator-breaks-down-tears-says-lost-all-faith-in-humanity-following-kate-middletons-cancer-revelation.html/”>she has cancer</a> and is undergoing “preventive treatment.” Following his wife’s admission, Prince William took a short break before returning to his royal duties, and according to an expert, when he did, he sent a message to everyone about the princess’s recovery. </p>

<p id=”par-3_52″>Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams insists that the Prince of Wales’ return to public duties and recent appearances following Kate’s announcement is to send a message that her treatment is going well. He talked about how William and his oldest child, Prince George, took in an Aston Villa match on April 11. </p>
<p id=”par-4_59″>Fitzwilliams told <a href=”https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/prince-william-sent-subtle-message-32634077″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Sun</a>: “Royals realize that every single thing they do sends a message in one way or another. It wasn’t just a question of appearing with George at an occasion that was enjoyable. It was a question of sending a signal that it was business as usual — as far as that was reasonable to be expected.</p>

<p id=”par-5_41″>“If Catherine had been there, it would have been fantastic, but no one is expecting that. People wouldn’t expect that after her video message, which I think is the bravest ever on a health issue by a public figure in Britain.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_33″>The commentator added that Prince William’s appearance with George was certainly a good sign about how things are going at home and that there is hope for a return to some normalcy. </p>
<p id=”par-7_64″>Fitzwillams said it was “important, simply in the sense that it was what one would call normal. Obviously, with the royal family very little is actually normal at the moment. He is clearly looking after the children as far as feasible. I mean, it’s a burden William has. It sent this message that things some things are going on, more or less as normal.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_42″>Days after taking in the soccer match with his son, the Prince of Wales visited Surplus to Supper, a charity in Sunbury-on-Thames, and assured well-wishers that he was going to “look after” and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-william-maintains-his-composure-promises-look-after-kate-following-cancer-diagnosis.html/?swcfpc=1″>take care of Kate</a> as she continued her treatment.</p>
