After a challenging month following Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis announcement, Prince William is back to his royal duties.
The Duke of Cambridge wasted no time and began his day with a visit to a food redistribution charity called Surplus to Supper in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey.
Surplus to Supper has a noble mission of bridging the gap between food waste and food poverty in Surrey and West London. It’s heartwarming to see Prince William actively involved in such a worthy cause.
Donning an apron, the prince rolled up his sleeves and got to work preparing meals alongside the dedicated staff.
Prince William’s return to royal duty showcases his commitment to making a positive impact on society. Despite the personal challenges he and his family have faced, he continues to use his platform to support important causes and bring attention to issues that matter.
By visiting Surplus to Supper, Prince William not only brings awareness to the organization’s mission but also highlights the importance of tackling food waste and poverty.
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared some photos from the outing on their official X account.
“A brilliant model for sustainability, fresh food that would otherwise have gone to waste is redistributed for free to support foodbanks, schools, care homes, shelters, clubs and religious organisations across the local community,” the post read.

During his visit, the prince was greeted with get-well cards for Catherine and King Charles, who also revealed his cancer diagnosis in February.
“Oh some cards, oh, you’re very kind,” William is heard telling volunteer Rachel Candappa in a video posted by ITV on X. “Thank you very much, that’s very kind of you.” Candappa also told the prince to look after his wife, to which he promised, “I will.”
This comes nearly one month after William’s wife Kate Middleton shared her cancer diagnosis on March 22.
“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery,” Kate said in the video recorded and released last month.
“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.”
She explained that after her abdominal surgery in December, it was believed her condition was “non-cancerous.” However, further testing showed “cancer had been present.” She was advised to begin chemotherapy by her medical team.
“This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time.
“It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.”
“As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits. Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both,” Kate added.
