Prince William has broken his silence by posting his first message on social media since Princess Kate announced she had cancer.
The Princess of Wales released a video message on March 22 revealing she had undergone preventative chemotherapy after cancer was found in tests conducted following her abdominal surgery at the London Clinic earlier this year.
The video which was accompanied by the caption: "A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales" was the last social media post on the Kensington Royal's X, formerly known as Twitter, page.
However, today Prince William broke his silence to send a heartfelt message to footballer Rachel Daly.

Last month, the Princess of Wales announced that she has been diagnosed with cancer in an emotional video message to Britain.
The princess confirmed that she has told her three young children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, about her diagnosis.
Kate said: "It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.
"In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.
"My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."

The Princess of Wales continued: "This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.
"As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.
"But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.
"As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.
"Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both."
