Prince William cautions that Kate Middleton has ‘a long way to go’ after announcing she’s ‘cancer free’

Prince William made a public appearance in Wales on Tuesday, following a surprise announcement from his wife Kate Middleton on Monday that she is “cancer free.”

The future heir to the British royal throne visited with children at the Swiss Valley Community Primary School in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, but made time to indulge the masses outside who were eager to speak with him.

The prince also spoke with the media, providing his opinion on Princess Catherine’s health revelation.

“It’s good news, but there is still a long way to go,” he reportedly told the press, per the BBC.

The prince’s cautionary response comes a day after Middleton released a 3-minute video featuring her husband and three children, where she spoke about her ongoing cancer battle.

“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown,” she said, over imagery of her family enjoying the outdoors. “The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.”

“This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved,” she continued.
