Catherine announced her "shock" diagnosis in a video message last month, in which she said she was undergoing chemotherapy. | |
She received abdominal surgery in January and has been keeping out of the public eye while she recovers. | |
In her video message on 23 March, the princess thanked the public for their support and understanding, and said it had been an "incredibly tough couple of months" for their family. | |
The princess said it had "taken time" to explain the situation to Princess Charlotte, Prince George, and Prince Louis. | |
"In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous," she said, adding "tests after the operation found cancer had been present". | |
Catherine said having her husband by her side has been a "great source of comfort". | |
While he has been appearing in public, Prince William has taken a step back from official appearances since his wife's surgery. | |
Last week, he was seen with his eldest son Prince George at an Aston Villa football match. | |
As part of Thursday's visit to Surrey-based Surplus to Supper, the prince will help volunteers load food deliveries into their vans at the charity's hub at Sunbury Cricket Club. | |
