William thanks well-wishers in first visit since Kate's cancer treatment update

Prince William has visited Carmarthenshire a day after Princess Catherine announced she had finished her chemotherapy treatment.

The Prince of Wales was in Llanelli to carry out engagements celebrating Welsh sport and culture.

Several people who had gathered outside Swiss Valley Community Primary School gave their well wishes to the Princess of Wales after her announcement.

William thanked everyone for their thoughts, as two people handed him cards.

In a personal family video published on Monday, Kate said her focus was now to “stay cancer free”.

It follows the princess confirming in March that pre-cancerous cells had been found following abdominal surgery and that she would have to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy.

During his visit to the school, the Prince of Wales met with 10-year-old Ruby Davies, who won the solo recitation at this year’s Urdd Eisteddfod, an annual cultural festival.

She told the PA news agency she felt “amazing” after meeting the prince and that it was something she would “treasure forever”.

Prince William said he had watched the video of her performance “a few times” and said it was “very impressive”.

“You’re going to have to teach me how to speak Welsh,” he added.

Lynne Davies, her mother, said she was happy to hear the Princess of Wales had completed chemotherapy.

Later on Tuesday, William will also visit the headquarters of the Wales Air Ambulance.

The day will end at Parc y Scarlets, home of the Scarlets rugby union team, to celebrate the contribution of Welsh female rugby players.

The prince will find out more about the Welsh Rugby Union’s missing caps campaign ahead of the 2025 Women’s World Cup.
