Prince William is making his first royal outing of the year (and taking on a new patronage) after Kate Middleton announced she is in "remission" from cancer.

The Princess of Wales said her cancer diagnosis came as a "huge shock." Kate Middleton and Prince William share three kids: George, Charlotte and Louis.

For the treatment, which concluded in September, Kate attended the Royal Marsden Hospital in central London and on Tuesday she paid an official visit there to mark her becoming joint patron of its specialist cancer unit along with her husband Prince William.
