Prince William returns to his public engagements at the horse’s speed as the royal member marks his visit at the RAF base, where the future monarch received his wings in 2008, and then girl friend Kate Middleton by his side.
The prince’s trip to the Air Force base comes after the announcement of Middleton being off her chemotherapy treatment. The Prince of Wales visited the base on behalf of his father for the Sovereign’s Parade at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire.
Meanwhile, Prince William also headed to Wales on September 10, after Princess Kate shared a personalized video on the official account of the Kensington Palace, where she detailed her nine months into the cancer treatment.
As for the Duke of Cornwell, he had lowered his profile and engaged in fewer public duties in the past months to be available for his wife at all times.
However, with Middleton on the path of a speedy recovery, William has laid out a schedule for the week, wherein he will be heading for a few outings. He will be visiting Cape Town while also taking a trip around South Africa in November for the Earthshot Prize.
