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.

Princess Kate announced her cancer is "in remission" and that she remains focused "on recovery" moving forward.

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.
