Prince William thanked Tom Cruise for attending the event.
Prince William met Hollywood actor Tom Cruise in London on Wednesday as he returned to public duties after Buckingham Palace announced that Britain’s King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer. The Prince of Wales made his first public appearance since his wife, Kate, “had planned abdominal surgery” last month, according to Kensington Palace.
The official account of the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a photo of them both wearing tuxedos and black ties on X (formerly Twitter). The account wrote in the caption: “Great to see you here, @TomCruise! The pair were attending a charity fundraising gala for the London Air Ambulance charity at a central London hotel.
Nice to meet you here, @Tom Cruise! 🚁 pic.twitter.com/JGYspIz2Eo

Prince William has met the actor several times, most recently when he and Kate attended the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick in London in May 2022. The actor also attended Princess Diana’s funeral in 1997.
Prince William said at the event: “I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your kind support to Catherine and my father, especially in recent days. It means so much to us all.” “It’s fair to say the focus over the past few weeks has been quite ‘medical’. So I thought I’d get away from it all by joining the air ambulance,” he joked.
according to independentPrince William also thanked Tom Cruise for attending the event. He also joked with the actor: “Tom, we’d really appreciate it if you wouldn’t mind not borrowing any of the new helicopters for the next Mission: Impossible movie.”
Meanwhile, King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Monday. The 75-year-old monarch will defer public duties while he undergoes medical treatment but looks forward to returning to full public duties as soon as possible.
