William was speaking on a trip to Cornwall

Prince William said his wife Catherine is “doing well” following her cancer diagnosis.

The Prince of Wales made the remarks on a visit to St Mary’s Community Hospital on the Isles of Scilly.

He was told about a new health and social care facility being built on Duchy land near the hospital.

William said George, Charlotte and Louis were “very jealous” of his trip, and said he may bring them to Cornwall later in the year.

He was given a letter by matron Lynda McHale, written by her granddaughter, that wished Catherine and the King well in their respective cancer recoveries.

Watch: Kate is doing well, Prince William says

The trip marks William’s first official visit to the Isles of Scilly since becoming Duke of Cornwall, a title he holds in addition to his Prince of Wales title.

Catherine revealed she was receiving “preventative chemotherapy” in March after doctors found “cancer had been present” following her abdominal surgery in January. She has not yet returned to public-facing duties.

The King resumed public duties last week after being diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February.

According to Buckingham Palace, his return to public-facing duties comes after making encouraging progress in his cancer treatment.
