As Prince William took the stage to give a speech, he spoke about recent events affecting his family. “Good evening. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the kind messages of support to Catherine (who recently underwent abdominal surgery) and my father, especially in the last few days. It means a lot to all of us.” He even joked about the royal family's situation, adding: “You could say that the last few weeks have been rather 'medical.' That's why I thought a rescue flight event would be a good idea to get away from it all!”
