Prince William’s first public engagement since news broke of his wife’s cancer diagnosis will be a visit to a UK food charity.
The heir to the throne, 41, is set to tour Surrey and West London on Thursday to witness the work of the Surplus to Supper good cause – nearly a month to the day when Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, released a video in which she said she was receiving preventative chemotherapy after doctors detected cancer in her body.
After William visits Surrey to see how Surplus to Supper sorts, repackages and delivers extra food for community organisations, he will drop in to a youth centre in West London that receives regular parcels from the charity, and hear how it helps young people.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said about William’s passion for the group and similar causes: “Reducing food waste has a considerable number of environmental benefits, including reducing emissions from landfill that contribute to climate change.
