She&#8217;s been amazing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s been through so much in the last couple of years, particularly. She&#8217;d been looking forward to the Italian trip a lot, and so I&#8217;m really glad it went really well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>William, 43, also gave an insight into the painstaking preparation that Catherine had put in to the trip, where the princess continued her work for the Centre for Early Childhood &#8211; the foundation she set up in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe prince &#8211; who has children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven, with Catherine &#8211; explained: &#8220;She wanted to go and do lots of research. She spends God knows how much time now looking through all the paperwork. She&#8217;s a proper pro on early years and so most evenings I&#8217;m fighting to get past in the bedroom what paperwork that she&#8217;s got lined up ready to read.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nCatherine &#8211; who announced that she was in remission from cancer in January 2025 &#8211; received a rapturous reception in Italy but William explained that the couple are taking a steady approach as she returns to royal duties around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;It&#8217;s kind of just sort of edging herself back into doing more and more of those trips. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Away trips like that take a lot out of you because you&#8217;re on sort of permanent receive and send the whole time. And so, we have to balance that &#8211; make sure she&#8217;s okay and rested. But, yeah, she&#8217;s in good form.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWilliam has been delighted to see his wife get a sense of normality back in her life following her cancer battle.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe royal said: &#8220;She&#8217;s an amazing mum, an amazing wife, and literally our family couldn&#8217;t cope without her. She&#8217;s been absolutely stunning. Really has.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/royal_family\/prince-william-expresses-pride-catherine-princess-wales-successful-italy-trip-1444862.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>22 May 2026 Prince William is &#8220;very proud&#8221; of his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales following her trip to Italy.
