Kate Middleton was unfortunately unable to attend the Duke of Westminster’s wedding on Friday, though she was very much in everyone’s thoughts.
William, serving as an usher for his close friend Hugh on the big day, was undoubtedly missing Kate’s presence.
As he left the Cathedral, a member of the public offered sweet words of support, shouting out their best wishes to the Princess. William responded with a thank you and a small wave of acknowledgment.
This comes two days after the Prince shared an update on his wife, who announced her cancer diagnosis in March.
During a special appearance in Portsmouth for a D-Day event on Wednesday, William was asked by a veteran about Kate’s wellbeing.
“She is better, thanks,” the royal replied. “She would’ve loved to be here today. I was reminding everybody, her grandmother served at Bletchley so she would have had quite a bit in common with a few of the other ladies here who served at Bletchley but never spoke about it until the very end.”
Buckingham Palace previously confirmed that Princess Kate will not be serving as Inspecting Officer at the traditional Colonel’s Review on June 8, which is the final rehearsal before Trooping the Colour one week later. She continues to stay out of the spotlight as she focuses on her recovery.
