PRINCE William promised to "look after" wife Kate during his first public appearance since the Princess of Wales' shock cancer announcement a month ago.
The Prince of Wales, 41, was on hand to help in the kitchen at food distribution charity Surplus to Supper yesterday.
Volunteer Rachel Candappa, 71, handed him two get-well-soon cards addressed to Kate and the King, who is also having cancer treatment. William looked visibly moved by the gesture and said: "Thank you, you are very kind."
And when Rachel told him to look after Kate, he put his hand on her shoulder and said: "I will."
Kate, 42, bravely revealed in a video message last month that she had been diagnosed with cancer following abdominal surgery in January.
She is having chemotherapy and taking extended leave from her royal duties while she focuses on her recovery.
