On January 16, it was announced that Prince William wouldn't be visiting the Army Air Corps regiment as planned, and here's the reason why.

Prince William is making his first royal outing of the year (and taking on a new patronage) after Kate Middleton announced she is in "remission" from cancer.

There’s been a major shift in Prince William’s body language. Maybe he’s relieved that his wife Kate Middleton’s cancer is in remission. Or perhaps he’s thrilled about his brand-new roles. Or maybe his growing beard has given him a new wave of confidence.

Kate Middleton and Prince William went on a discreet ski trip with their family over the New Year, and we, the people, are only just hearing about it. According to the Daily Mail, the couple "slipped away from their home at Anmer on the Sandringham estate shortly after Christmas" and spent several days in the Alps—where they were joined by Kate's family.

Princess Kate enjoyed a relaxing ski vacation with her family in the Alps. Accompanied by Prince William and their children, they embraced the wintry idyll. The trip signifies an important step in her return to public duties.

In another sign of the progress she's making in her recovery following her cancer treatment, Kate Middleton apparently felt well enough after the holidays for one of her longtime favorite activities: Skiing.
