Prince William brought some laughter to a surprise London outing this morning, sharing "knock knock" jokes despite his family's recent heartache.

The Prince of Wales seemed right at home as he arrived at a school, responding to an invitation from a student that he had to decline at first.

William had a busy day in the West Midlands on April 25, attending engagements and visiting projects that aim to help people with their mental health.

His first stop was at St Michael's School, where student-led initiatives are in place to support the mental health of the children there.

In October, student Freddie Hadley marked World Mental Health Day by sending a personal letter to the prince. In the letter, Freddie shared that a group of boys aged 11-14 gather weekly to work on ideas and projects focusing on male mental health.

Freddie invited the prince to the school for the launch of a campaign last October. Unfortunately, the royal was unable to attend due to a prior commitment.

William praised Freddie for his hard work upon his arrival today, expressing his congratulations and apologizing for not being able to visit in October as mentioned in the letter that Freddie had sent. The prince then joined the other children to participate in recording a segment for the school's radio station. During the recording, he shared some "dad jokes", specifically knock-knock jokes, which he mentioned were Princess Charlotte's favorite.

Today, William made his second public appearance since Princess Kate Middleton shared her cancer treatment news. Last week, he assisted in loading a food truck and cooked at a charity called Surplus that distributes food to those in need.

William took a break from his duties and enjoyed some time off with his wife Kate and their three children in December. Their kids, Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8), and Prince Louis (5), were also on an extended holiday from school during this time. One day, William was seen attending a soccer match with George on April 11.

In March, a source shared with We that William and Kate decided to wait until their children were on break from school to announce the news. This way, they could have some time to process the information about Kate's health before it became a topic of conversation worldwide.

Since Kate opened up about her medical issues, the couple has been staying out of the spotlight. However, they did take a moment in March to express their gratitude to those who have been sending well-wishes.

Kensington Palace stated that the prince and princess were deeply touched by the kind messages they received from people in the U.K., across the Commonwealth, and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness' message.

The couple expressed their gratitude for the public's warmth and support, and they were appreciative of everyone understanding their request for privacy during this time.
