It comes after the Palace announced the monarch’s cancer diagnosis in February which was discovered while he had unrelated treatment for a benign prostate enlargement. It comes days after Kate Middleton released an unedited picture of Prince Louis on his sixth birthday last week. The Prince and Princess of Wales released a new image of their daughter to celebrate her birthday today.

Women's Day Prayer Breakfast

The adorable snap was taken in Windsor where the family lives. Prince William and Kate Middleton released a new picture of Princess Charlotte to mark her ninth birthday. Charles, 75, for his part, revealed his cancer diagnosis in February. The photo was taken by the Princess of Wales, who recently came under fire for doctoring an image of her and her children shared on UK Mother’s Day on March 10. These officers died as heroes and made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to our state. We remember them, we honor their service, we send our deepest condolences to their families and friends, and we pray for healing for all affected by this tragic incident.

William's father, King Charles III, also shared his own cancer diagnosis earlier this year and took time off from his royal duties amid his treatment. He returned to public-facing duties this week, with his wife, Queen Camilla, by his side as they visited a cancer treatment center. I am deeply saddened by the shooting that occurred that involved Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers and US Marshals today. I ask that all Charlotteans keep them, the other injured officers, and their families in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. The police chief added that when officers approached the first suspect, they were fired upon from inside the residence. “After a long standoff, we were able to clear this residence and confirm that there were two additional people inside,” he added, saying both of them were brought to the police station as people of interest.
