Prince William said Princess Kate is "in good form" and gradually resuming travel as she recovers from cancer, calling her recent work trip to Reggio Emilia a success.
On Heart Breakfast, released May 22, William said away trips still "take a lot out of you," so the family is balancing engagements with rest while she edges back into public duties.
Kate, 44, announced in January 2025 that her cancer was in remission, about a year after revealing in March 2024 that she had been diagnosed following abdominal surgery and was undergoing preventive chemotherapy.
Her Italy visit focused on early childhood development, and William said she returned "buzzing" after meetings with families, educators and community members.
