Prince William said two "amazing and kind" nurses looked after Princess Kate while she was recuperating in hospital.
The Prince of Wales was speaking to an MBE recipient as he wore his RAF uniform to hand out more than 50 honours on Wednesday.
William is now the monarchy's most prominent public figure while his father, King Charles, recuperates at Sandringham after his first cancer treatment and his wife, Kate, stays at home following abdominal surgery.
The prince chatted warmly to Patricia Spruce, who was made an MBE for her work recruiting foreign medics for the NHS.

Taking to LinkedIn, she wrote: "Prince William said that Katherine had two Filipino nurses looking after her and they were amazing and kind."
In addition, Ellen White, who was also made an MBE, said she gave her "best wishes" to Kate and the King.
Asked how William responded, she said: "He really appreciated it. So yeah, it was something that obviously I wanted to send my best wishes."
