The Prince of Wales is to carry out his first royal engagement since his wife revealed her cancer diagnosis last month.

He has spent the past three-and-a-half weeks with Catherine, Princess of Wales, and their three children.

The 41-year-old will visit a food redistribution charity in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey, on Thursday.

He will also be visiting a youth centre based in west London that benefits from the charity’s work.

Catherine said her diagnosis had come as a “shock” in a video message last month, in which she revealed she was undergoing chemotherapy.

Her cancer was discovered in post-operative tests following her abdominal surgery in January, and has been keeping out of the public eye while she recovers. Before her diagnosis, the palace said she was going to return to royal duties after Easter.

Catherine had not attended any official events since Christmas, with her health and whereabouts subject to widespread and often wild online speculation before her announcement. (BBC)
