The royal family has been under a cloud of concern since the announcement that King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer. A few months later, Duchess Kate shared that she, too, was battling the disease. During her hiatus from official duties, her husband has been a constant source of support.

However, Prince William's absence from public engagements could not last indefinitely. On April 18, he attended a charity cooking event organized by Surplus and engaged with volunteers.

The health of Duchess Kate is a widespread concern—a sentiment echoed in a conversation between Prince William and volunteers. 71-year-old Rachel Candappa expressed hope that he would prioritize taking good care of his wife during these tough times. His response was touching, placing his hand on her shoulder, he assured, "Of course, I will."

In addition to discussing his wife's health, the topic of children also came up. He shared that his children are fans of spaghetti hoops, surprising volunteers with his familiarity with the dish. Later, he assisted in distributing the prepared meals to the cars.
