Prince William’s return to the public eye #
His silence, which had pervaded the air since the news broke, was finally shattered on April 10th.
Choosing the platform that he shares with his wife, Prince William made his return to the public eye on Instagram. A personal message, signed with his signature online initial ‘W’, was posted, marking his first public address since the unfortunate announcement.
A message of support and a hint of normalcy #
It is known that Prince William is a devout football fan. His message, therefore, came as a show of support to Rachel Daly, the forward of Aston Villa, who announced her retirement from international football at the age of 32. His decision to break his silence with such a message seemed to resonate with a desire to maintain a semblance of normalcy amidst the ongoing turmoil.
Despite the ongoing concerns regarding his wife’s health, the Prince of Wales has resumed his duties as the President of the Football Association (FA), a position he assumed in 2006. Whether it’s about football or not, this marks the first time that Prince William has spoken out personally since the news of his wife’s cancer diagnosis.
The absence of Prince William in Kate’s video #
On March 22nd, the world was shocked as Kate Middleton revealed her battle with cancer in a video. The Duchess of Cambridge appeared frail and emotional, but her poise remained untouched. The absence of her husband, however, raised numerous questions.
The Times, a British media outlet, provided some answers. It was understood that the speech in the video was penned entirely by Kate herself, making it appropriate for her to deliver the message solo. This portrayal of her inner strength was hailed as a shining example of her character. Whether this would be enough to quell the rumors, only time can tell.
