Prince William has broken his silence by posting his first message on social media since Princess Kate announced she had cancer.
The Princess of Wales released a video message on March 22 revealing she had undergone preventative chemotherapy after cancer was found in tests conducted following her abdominal surgery at the London Clinic earlier this year.
The video which was accompanied by the caption: "A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales" was the last social media post on the Kensington Royal's X, formerly known as Twitter, page.
However, today Prince William broke his silence to send a heartfelt message to footballer Rachel Daly.
Daly announced she was retiring from international duty today but she will remain playing for her football club Aston Villa.
The Prince of Wales supports Aston Villa and has been pictured regularly attending games at Villa Park.
William wrote on X: "Thank you for so many unforgettable performances with @Lionesses, @RachelDaly3. Plenty more goals for Villa now! W".
Daly retires from international football having amassed 84 caps for England's Lionesses.
