“I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,” Charles said in February. “As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.”

He added, “It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations [that] support cancer patients and their families across the U.K. and wider world. My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience.”

Charles briefly paused his public duties to undergo an undisclosed type of treatment. He made his public return in April.

Per the statement, all of Charles’ engagements would be “adapted where necessary to minimize any risks” to aid his recovery.

Kate, 42, has not publicly shared further details of her cancer battle and treatment.
