William gives update on Kate and the children during Newcastle visit
The prince was asked about his wife's health by a member of the public this afternoon.
Prince William told Royal fans Kate and the children are ‘doing well’ as he left suicide prevention centre James’ Place in Newcastle this afternoon.
Royal supporters draped in Union Jack flags and clutching flowers gathered outside the charity in brilliant sunshine to greet the future monarch.
Addressing the King’s son Julie Cain, 60, said: ‘Do you mind if I ask how your wife and children are?’
William replied: ‘All doing well, thank you. Yes, we’re doing well.’
The heir to the throne shook hands with the well-wishers and was happy to pose for selfies with those who asked.
William met families outside James’s Place before opening the venue which offers free treatment to suicidal men.
The centre is one of several belonging to the charity set up by the family of James Wentworth-Stanley, who killed himself aged 21 in 2006.
Elsewhere during the visit, a cheeky toddler pretended it was his birthday in order to get the Prince’s attention.
Kevin, three, made the claim and was delighted when HRH bent down, shook his hand and asked him if he’d had any cake.
Afterwards, staff at Little Lotus Nursery admitted it wasn’t Kevin’s birthday and the tot had been so eager to chat to the Prince of Wales he’d told a white lie.
Sadie Stewart, six, handed the King’s son a card to congratulate him on his 13th wedding anniversary.
The schoolgirl, who was with mum Carole, 48 and brother Miles, 13, said: ‘It was very, very good to chat to him.
‘He is really nice.
‘He is showing his children the card later which makes me very happy.
‘I’m going to tell everyone at school.’
Carole added: ‘We’ve been here since 10am. It’s something the children will remember for the rest of their lives.’
