Prince William has returned to social media for the first time since Duchess Kate announced her cancer treatment.

“Thank you @Lionesses for so many unforgettable performances with @RachelDaly3,” he wrote in a photo he reposted from Daly’s account to the Kensington Royal account he shares with Middleton.
