Prince William is ensuring he remains fit and calm as he steps in for King Charles and Kate Middleton at various events. The Prince of Wales recently represented his cancer-stricken father, King Charles, at a D-Day event in Normandy. Despite these challenging times, William is maintaining a “very positive” attitude about taking over significant royal duties, according to royal photographer Samir Hussein.
“I think it remains very positive that Prince William has really stepped up to the mark with the king being out of action for a few months,” Hussein told Us Weekly. “Prince William’s been through so much, obviously, with what’s been happening with Kate, which we didn’t know about for so long. I think he’s done remarkably well in really, really trying circumstances.”
Hussein noted that despite the difficulties, William is “still being himself on engagements, he’s still been joking when he meets with the public.” This approach demonstrates William’s commitment to staying connected and approachable during his royal engagements.
William is determined to support both his father and his wife, Princess Kate, during these “incredibly tough times,” Hussein added. “He is still relatively new to the role and he’s waited a long time for it. So, it’s great to see him back out, very busy doing engagements and looking very fit and so long may that continue.”
Prince William’s ability to navigate these challenges and maintain his public duties underscores his dedication and resilience in his evolving role within the royal family.
