Prince William<\/a> has offered a rare insight into the Princess of Wales<\/a>‘s recovery, revealing she is “edging herself back” into overseas engagements following her cancer treatment.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Heart radio, the Prince of Wales shared that his wife returned “buzzing” from her recent trip to Italy<\/a> \u2013 her first official foreign tour in over three years \u2013 where she promoted early years development, a subject he noted she has become a “pro” on.<\/p>\n

He cautioned that royal tours are demanding, stressing the need to “make sure she\u2019s OK and rested” as she gradually resumes her duties.<\/p>\n

William also delivered a heartfelt personal tribute, stating: “She\u2019s an amazing mum and an amazing wife and literally our family couldn\u2019t cope without her, so she\u2019s been absolutely stunning, really has.”<\/p>\n

The Prince’s remarks came during his appearance on Heart radio’s breakfast show with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, broadcast live from a cafe on the Isles of Scilly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was later scheduled to visit the local hospital. During the interview, he also light-heartedly discussed the school run, his appreciation for dance music, and his adherence to his late grandmother the Queen\u2019s scone-making method \u2013 cream first, then jam.<\/p>\n

\"William<\/p>\n

William discussed Kate\u2019s first official foreign tour in more than three years during an appearance on Heart radio\u2019s breakfast show presented by Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden<\/p>\n

Asked if he is proud of Kate\u2019s successful visit to Italy,<\/a> William replied: \u201cSo proud, very, very proud. She\u2019s been amazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s been through so much in the last couple of years, particularly. She\u2019d been looking forward to the Italian<\/a> trip a lot, and so I\u2019m really glad it went really well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate received a rapturous welcome from the people of the Italian city of Reggio Emilia where she learnt about an innovative approach to teaching young children pioneered in the city.<\/p>\n

\"Kate<\/p>\n

Kate is \u2018edging herself back\u2019 into doing more overseas visits following her successful cancer treatment<\/p>\n

William added: \u201cShe wanted to go and do lots of research, she spends God knows how much time now looking through all the paperwork.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a proper pro on early years, and so most evenings I\u2019m fighting to get past in the bedroom\u2026 all the paperwork that she\u2019s got lined up ready to read.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so pleased it went well for her, and yeah I think she came back buzzing.\u201d<\/p>\n

An aide to the princess last week described the trip as a \u201chuge moment\u201d for Kate, who has experienced a cancer diagnosis and success treatment since she travelled to America more than three years ago.<\/p>\n

William and Kate\u2019s last major lengthy tour together was their controversial trip to the Caribbean in March 2022 to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee<\/a>, before they spent three days in Boston in December 2022 for the prince\u2019s Earthshot Prize ceremony.<\/p>\n

\"Kate<\/p>\n

Kate received a rapturous welcome from the people of the Italian city of Reggio Emilia where she learnt about an innovative approach to teaching young children pioneered in the city<\/p>\n

When the suggestion was made that Kate wants to do more overseas visits, William told the breakfast show: \u201cYes, I think so. It\u2019s kind of, just sort of edging herself back into doing more and more of those trips.<\/p>\n

\u201cAway trips like that take a lot out of you because you\u2019re on sort of permanent receive and send the whole time, and so we have to balance that, make sure she\u2019s OK and rested, but yeah, she\u2019s in good form.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William has offered a rare insight into the Princess of Wales‘s recovery, revealing she is “edging herself…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[13780,13781,9958,13779,13764,5,13778,9737,9805,11263],"class_list":["post-18759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-italy","tag-amanda-holden","tag-breakfast-show","tag-cancer-treatment","tag-foreign-tour","tag-heart-radio","tag-italy","tag-jamie-theakston","tag-prince-william","tag-princess-of-wales","tag-william-and-kate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
