Prince William returned to public duties on Thursday for the first time since his wife's cancer diagnosis. William is scheduled to visit a surplus food distribution center and a youth club and highlight efforts to reduce food waste in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and feed those in need.

The prince stepped down from public duties after Kate, Princess of Wales, announced on March 22 that she was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer. In a video message released that day, Kate asked for privacy for herself and her family.

Both King Charles and Kate have been largely absent from the public scene since January due to health issues. Charles announced on February 5 that he was also diagnosed with a form of cancer while undergoing prostate treatment. Kate's illness also came to light after she was hospitalized in late January for abdominal surgery.
