Prince William shared a heartening health update about his wife and children following Catherine's disclosure in March that she has cancer. The heir-apparent to the British throne, who was back to his royal duties on Tuesday attending the grand opening of James Place Newcastle, was asked how his wife and three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — were doing as the Princess of Wales undergoes preventative chemotherapy to treat the undisclosed form of the disease.
Palace photos, especially those shot by Catherine, had come under scrutiny in the weeks leading up to the princess' revelation after the institution released a doctored photo of the mother of three that only intensified conjecture about her well-being. Catherine, an upper-middle-class commoner who married into the British royal family in 2011, had also been plagued by rumors about trouble in her marriage during that time.
