The Prince of Wales made his first royal appearance following the announcement of Kate Middleton's cancer remission. Stephen attended the inaugural Emergency and Critical Care Conference at the Birmingham Conference and Events Centre on Wednesday, January 15, PEOPLE reported.

During the event, Prince William, 42, was officially named the new patron of the College of Paramedics. This important conference aims to assist emergency responders in making pressure-driven decisions. William has personal experience in this area from his background as a Royal Air Force search and rescue pilot and work with the East Anglian Air Ambulance. He holds a particular interest in the mental health of first responders.

Upon arrival, the Prince engaged with leaders from the College of Paramedics and conference speakers. He also met paramedics from various specialties. Established in 2001, the College serves as a membership body for registered paramedics across the U.K., consisting of over 20,000 members. In February 2024, King Charles granted the organization a Royal Charter of Incorporation.

William participated in two sessions focusing on trauma critical care and techniques utilized in search and rescue helicopter missions. Later, he was expected to deliver a brief speech.

This event held special significance for William, coinciding with Kate’s announcement of her remission from cancer. On January 14, the Princess of Wales, 43, revealed her health update after visiting The Royal Marsden Hospital. The visit confirmed that Kate received treatment at this facility and that she would join Prince William as a patron, following his mother's example. He became a patron in 2007.

During her visit, Kate spoke candidly with patients and staff, connecting her experiences with empathy. For example, she notably recognized the sound of a treatment machine, expressing familiarity with it ("I recognize that beep!" she remarked, according to the Daily Mail).

In March 2024, Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis and maintained a low profile through much of the following months. In September, with relief, she announced that she had completed chemotherapy. While her exact diagnosis has not been made public, she expressed her heartfelt gratitude to The Royal Marsden team. She thanked them for their exceptional care over the past year via a message shared on X.

"My heartfelt thanks go to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me," Kate shared, adding that they "couldn't have asked for more."

Kate aims to utilise her new role to support research, clinical excellence, and advocate for the wellbeing of patients and families.

Reflecting on her journey, she stated, "It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery. Adjusting to a new normal takes time, but I am looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead." She acknowledged the continued support they received.

This unexpected hospital visit marked another step in Kate's gradual return to royal duties. No schedule has been released yet, but in November 2024, William optimistically mentioned his wife may join him in his engagements. "Hopefully Catherine will be doing a bit more next year, so we’ll have some trips maybe lined up," he remarked following a busy engagement in Cape Town for his Earthshot Prize initiatives.
