William said Kate was doing "really well" and praised her for being "amazing" as she went through cancer treatment throughout the year.

He said he hoped she and the children would be watching his Earthshot Prize awards on Wednesday evening.

The ceremony, which is taking place in Cape Town, will recognise environmental solutions to "repair" the planet, with five category winners each receiving £1 million to "scale up" their plans.

Speaking ahead of the event, William said: "[Kate]'s doing really well thanks. Hopefully she's watching tonight and cheering me on.

"She's been amazing this whole year and I know she'll be really keen to see tonight be a success."

Kate Middleton announces she has completed her chemotherapy treatment

Kate announced in September that she had completed her treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, saying her main focus was now on "staying cancer free".

Sharing a video with the family at the time, she said she was taking every day as it comes and was "looking forward" to returning to public engagements.

Kate has since made several public appearances, including meeting with the families of Southport stabbing victims.

However, she is not expected to attend the Earthshot awards in person.

Dubbed the prince's "Super Bowl" moment, William will join around 2,000 guests in a sustainable eco-dome for the event.

During his visit to Cape Town, he has been seen wearing a bracelet with the word 'papa' on it, which was given to him by Princess Charlotte.

"This is a relic from a Taylor Swift concert that my daughter decided that she wanted to create a bracelet for," he said.

"She gave it to me when I came away so I've promised her that I'd wear it and try not to lose it while I was out here."

He said he and the three children had regular conversations about doing "what they can" to help with the environment.

"I think every family has these conversations," William said. "You just try to do what you can.

"The Earthshot Prize has got to be a bit more global than that. We are trying to do big scale ambition and big scale business to tackle some of the solutions.

"But I brought the children along that journey and tonight I hope they are watching and they are proud of kind of what we are try to do here, which is to really galvanise that energy that enthusiasm to make real impact."
