Prince William has resumed his royal duties with renewed vigor after a video went viral on social media.
The footage, published by The Sun newspaper, shows William and Kate Middleton visiting the Windsor Farm Shop, an event that would not normally have attracted much attention.
However, this video has gained particular prominence as Kate’s first public video appearance since her abdominal surgery in January, an event that fueled countless online conspiracy theories about her prolonged absence.
The footage also served to dispel persistent rumors of a crisis in William and Kate’s marriage.
It also dispelled speculation about an alleged relationship between the future British monarch and Rose Hanbury, who broke her trademark silence to address such rumors.
Prince William in Sheffield
In a recent twist, this Tuesday, March 19, Prince William visited the city of Sheffield in northern England.
The prince took part in an event that reflects a continuation of his commitment to social causes, a passion inspired by his mother, the late Princess Diana.
His focus: homelessness.
During a meeting with the Homewards Sheffield Local Coalition at the Millennium Gallery, the Prince of Wales engaged in a constructive dialogue on strategies to eradicate homelessness.
When the topic of early childhood was raised by Kate Joseph, Chief Executive of Sheffield City Council, Prince William highlighted the positive impact of Kate’s Early Years projects, saying with a smile, “That’s my wife’s area, she needs to sit here.”
The visit was also an occasion for good news, as a donation of more than $1 million was announced to help the new tenants with their initial decorating needs.
This generous contribution comes from one of the partners in the Homewards initiative launched by Prince William last summer.
Homebase has pledged to provide up to 1,500 ‘Home Starter Packs’, which will include essentials such as paint, furniture, flooring and accessories to provide a warm welcome to those moving into their new homes for the first time.
