With King Charles undergoing weekly cancer treatments in London, Prince William has assumed the responsibility of representing his father and fulfilling royal duties.
Furthermore, William is balancing his duties by providing support to his wife, who is currently recovering from planned abdominal surgery, and tending to their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
William recently participated in a fundraising event for London’s Air Ambulance. During the event, he expressed gratitude for the supportive messages concerning his wife and father, particularly in recent times.
In addition to the attendees, actor Tom Cruise was present, and Prince William light-heartedly joked with him, advising against “borrowing” any of the helicopters.
“I would greatly appreciate it if you refrained from borrowing either of the new helicopters for the next Mission Impossible,” the Prince humorously remarked.
“We’ve all witnessed on our screens that, if I may say so, you appear to have a unique perspective on what constitutes ‘normal wear and tear’ compared to the rest of us,” he added with a chuckle.

Addressing the significance of the event, William remarked, “Given the recent medical focus of the past few weeks, I figured I’d attend an air ambulance function to take a break from it all!”
“However, on a serious note, we’ve gathered here tonight to support the mission of providing top-class care through the silhouette of London Air Ambulance’s flying lifelines. Having served as a pilot for East Anglia Air Ambulance, I understand firsthand the crucial role air ambulance teams play nationwide. The swift delivery of urgent medical care wherever accidents occur can truly be life-saving,” William emphasized.
“London has been admirably served by our current aircraft, but the time has come for a new fleet. Time is of the essence. As the name of the Appeal suggests, we are Up Against Time. By September, we aim to have two new red helicopters equipped with the latest technology, including night vision, soaring through our skies,” William stressed.

The prince was observed engaging in conversation with Ellen Convery, formerly known as Ellen White, a former player who represented the England women’s football team in over 100 matches.
During his treatment, King Charles will not be present at public events. In the intervals between treatments, he is dedicating his time to staying at the Sandringham estate.
Specifics regarding the type of cancer he has been diagnosed with have not been disclosed to the public.
