Prince William has made his first return to royal duties since Kate's cancer diagnosis went public.

Last month the Princess of Wales revealed she's been receiving treatment amid wild internet speculation.

The family has been away from the public eye but the Prince has returned to show support for a homeless food shelter.

UK correspondent Vincent McAviney told Mike Hosking the public have been showing him and the Princess support.

He says someone gave the Prince a 'get well soon' card and told him to look after Kate, which he replied he would.

Vincent McAviney: UK Correspondent on Prince William's return to royal duties since Kate's cancer diagnosis

UK Correspondent Vincent McAviney brings us the latest on the UK local elections and from London’s fatal sword attack. 

McAviney told Mike Hosking “If things are really bad for the Prime Minister, it could see a mutiny on his back benches.” 

McAviney said Rishi Sunak is expected to lose around half of their councillors in England and Wales. 

McAviney says the only thing that might stop his party from replacing him is that the British public don't want a sixth conservative Prime Minister in fourteen years. 

In other news, a man has been charged with murder for the sword attack on a fourteen-year-old boy.

Are kiwis uninterested in New Zealand Fashion?

New Zealand Fashion Week has been cancelled this August and has decided to shift into a two-yearly schedule.

Owner Feroz Ali says there weren't enough designers to commit to the weeklong event because they're focused on the survival of their businesses.

Retail NZ Chief Executive Carolyn Young told Mike Hosking that it's not that people don't want to buy local.

She says the biggest factor is that people don't have disposable income to spend on discretionary items.
