William gave an update on the Princess of Wales's health as she continues her cancer treatment out of the public eye.

The Duke of Wales stated that Kate was improving while speaking to veterans at the June 5th, 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Portsmouth, adding, "She'd have loved to be here today."

"I was reminding everyone her grandmother served at Bletchley Park," he continued in a video shared to video on X (formerly known as Twitter) June 5. "So, she had quite a few in common with some of the ladies here who were at Bletchley." (Kate's paternal grandmother Valerie Glassborrow worked at the historic World War II spy base, where Alan Turing would crack the Enigma code that was used by Nazis to encrypt covert messages.)


Furthermore, it appears that William—who is parents to Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6—will keep going to events by himself while the 42-year-old concentrates on her health. She won't even be present for the Colonel's Review, which takes place on June 8 before the Trooping the Colour Ceremony.

"This year General James Bucknall K.C.B., C.V.O will carry out the role of Inspecting Officer," a Kensington Palace spokesperson told NBC News May 30, "on behalf of HRH The Princess of Wales at Colonel's Review as she continues her recovery."

While Kate has chosen to battle the disease privately, William assured the public that she and the kids are staying positive.

"All doing well, thank you," the 41-year-old shared, per The Daily Mail back in April. "We're all doing well."


Regarding Kate, she emphasized William's support since she withdrew from her royal responsibilities in March in order to concentrate on her health.

"Our entire family has had an extremely difficult couple of months," she stated in her video message. "Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance."
