Britain’s Prince William said on Wednesday his wife Kate Middleton was doing “really well” and had been amazing in a year when she has undergone preventive chemotherapy for cancer.
The British heir to the throne is currently in South Africa, where he will later host the annual awards ceremony for his multimillion-dollar Earthshot Prize. He made the trip without Kate, who is still recovering from her treatment.
He said she would be cheering him on from their home in Britain.
“She’s doing really well, thanks,” he told the BBC ahead of his environmental prize’s awards ceremony in Cape Town. “She’s been amazing this whole year. I know she will be really keen to see tonight be a success.”
As well as Kate, he said he hoped their three children George, 11, Charlotte, 9, and Louis, 6, would also be watching on proudly, saying they as a family did what they could to help the environment.
“We go through all the basics of recycling and making sure we minimise water use and turning off lights when we leave the house and stuff like that,” he said.
