It comes after Prince William is reportedly finding public life difficult without Princess Kate, as the Prince of Wales focuses on George, Charlotte, and Louis, according to a royal commentator.

Gareth Russell, a royal commentator, spoke exclusively to GB News, suggesting that William is finding public life "emotionally very difficult" without the Princess of Wales by his side.

He said: "At the moment, we are seeing the Prince of Wales perform his public duties in an exemplary manner.

"There's a huge amount of public approval for how he's handled them.

"That's not to say that it's not emotionally very difficult to be without his wife in public, as they often perform together, and obviously to be dealing with the emotional strain and distress that having a loved one with cancer brings to anyone."
