Prince William reunited with Tom Cruise in London on Wednesday, on his first day back on public duties since Buckingham Palace announced his father King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis on Monday.
It was also one of William’s first official appearances since his wife Princess Kate underwent what Kensington Palace described as a “planned abdominal surgery” last month.
On Wednesday, the Prince of Wales attended a charity fundraising gala for London’s Air Ambulance Charity at a central London hotel.
Upon his arrival at the venue, William was greeted with a question from a reporter about the support he’s received from the public in recent weeks.
“We really appreciate everyone’s kind messages,” he responded. “Thank you.”
Cruise was also in attendance at Wednesday’s gala, and the two posed for a few photos together.
