Prince William returns to his public commitments, and the date is no coincidence

A visit to Surrey, working together with the Surplus to Supper charity, which distributes food to the poorest sections of the population: the Prince William he returned to work on Thursday 18 April, participating in a typical day for the non-profit’s volunteers. First in the kitchen to prepare meals and then to the Hanworth Center Hub in Feltham for delivery.

An intense day for the heir to the throne, the first of many, which arrived on a non-random day, as he pointed out to Mirror expert Jennie Bond, former royal correspondent for the BBC. The prince, in fact, chose the day after returning to school of children George, Charlotte and Louis, recently returned to the Lambrook desks after the Easter break. Something “sensible”, specified the expert. «Settle the children and then concentrate on official duties. And it’s a cautious start… close to home and close to the issues he cares about: community and the environment», he continued.

William seemed relaxed and at ease, and also revealed an anecdote about his son Louis, who is said to be a great cricket fan. There was no shortage of references to Kate Middleton and her health conditions. The prince, obviously, did not linger on details, but assured a fan that is taking care of her and will continue to do so.

An obvious promise, also because in the last few weeks William focused exclusively on family. In fact, his last official appearance dates back to March 20th, when he participated in a meeting of the Welsh Guards in Windsor as a Colonel. Then came the Easter holidays, spent in the intimacy of Anmer Hall, the country residence where the princes of Wales spend all their free moments; the only exception was a trip to the stadium together with his eldest son George, to watch Aston Villa-Lille, valid for the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League. “These last three weeks will have been very precious for William, Catherine and their family,” continued Jennie Bond speaking to the Mirror. «Announcing that he is being treated for cancer, the princess claimed something that should have been hers all along: the right to recover from surgery and treat her cancer in private. I hope that this period has given them the breath of fresh air they needed so much.”
