Prince William to return to public duties after Kate's cancer announcement

Prince William will return to royal duties on Thursday, his first public engagements since the Princess of Wales's cancer announcement.

The prince will visit Surrey and west London to highlight "the community and environmental impact organisations in the area are having through their work".

He will attend a food redistribution charity as well as a youth centre.

They will be Prince William's first public engagements since the Princess of Wales revealed she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy after doctors found cancer during planned abdominal surgery.

Last week, William and his eldest son Prince George attended an Aston Villa football game together, in their first public outing since the announcement.
