The prince spoke to men who struggled with their mental health during a visit to the newly opened James' Place in Newcastle.

While meeting royal supporters outside the centre, one person asked: "Do you mind if I ask how your wife and children are?"

William said: "All doing well, thank you. Yes, we’re doing well."

Kate revealed in March that she was receiving treatment for cancer, following her abdominal surgery in January.

It came after months of speculation over her health, with her last public appearance having been at the end of 2023.

Meanwhile, King Charles returned to work on Tuesday, after stepping down from public duties for his own cancer treatment.
