Prince William is possibly contributing to the ongoing rumors surrounding the whereabouts of Princess Kate Middleton.

During his visit to Sheffield, England on March 19, William, who is 41 years old, showed his support for The Royal Foundation's Homewards Programme, a project dedicated to ending homelessness. Despite attending the event without Kate, who is 42, the Prince of Wales subtly mentioned his wife during the occasion.

At the event, Sheffield City Council chief executive Kate Josephs led a discussion on childhood. William proudly mentioned his wife, praising her achievements as a mother and with their foundation. William and Kate have three children together: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.

"I'm stepping into my wife's domain here," he jokingly remarked, as reported by the Daily Mail. "She should be here to hear this."

Kate became involved with the Homewards initiative after its launch last summer. The program aimed to provide "Home Starter Packs" to 1,500 individuals who have faced homelessness and housing insecurity. These packs included paint, furniture, flooring, and furnishings. Additionally, the Prince of Wales revealed that one of the initiative partners donated over $1 million during the event.

During the same event, William had the chance to meet a royal watcher who presented him with a get well soon card for Kate, as reported by the Daily Mail. William expressed his gratitude by saying, "You really are very kind."

Kate underwent abdominal surgery in January and has been mostly out of the public eye since then. Although she has been seen on three occasions this month, the Princess of Wales will not resume her public duties until after Easter.

Information about Kate's health has been kept private, sparking numerous theories on social media.

William made an appearance at an event in Sheffield on Tuesday, following a rare public outing with Kate at the Windsor Farm Shop on Saturday, March 16. A video of their casual shopping trip has been obtained by us, showing the Prince and Princess of Wales in relaxed attire. According to an eyewitness who spoke to TMZ, Kate appeared happy and at ease during their shopping excursion.

The eyewitness, identified as Nelson Silva, shared his experience with TMZ, mentioning that he recognized the couple while they were choosing bread at the shop. He described feeling familiar with the woman's face and decided to film them as they left the shop. Silva noted that they walked out through a gate and disappeared without getting into a car.

Editor's P/S:

Prince William's recent comments and actions have done little to quell the ongoing speculation surrounding Princess Kate Middleton's absence from public life. Despite not being present at the event, William's reference to his wife's involvement in the Homewards Programme suggests that she is not far from his thoughts. The donation of over $1 million to the initiative is a testament to the couple's commitment to the cause of ending homelessness. However, the private nature of Kate's health information has fueled rumors and theories on social media, leaving the public eager for more official news about her condition.

William's appearance at the event and his meeting with a royal watcher who presented him with a get well soon card for Kate further highlight the couple's close bond. The video obtained by TMZ of their shopping trip at the Windsor Farm Shop portrays them as relaxed and happy, providing a glimpse into their private life. These small gestures are reassuring for royal fans, who are hoping for a speedy recovery for Kate and her eventual return to public duties.
