See Prince William's Response When Veteran Asks if Kate Middleton Is 'Getting Better' amid Cancer Treatment

The Prince of Wales previously said his wife is "doing well" as she remains out of the public eye

Prince William was asked for an update about Kate Middleton on his latest outing.

During an event commemorating the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings on June 5, the Prince of Wales addressed a question about his wife, who is undergoing treatment for cancer. According to Hello! magazine, a veteran asked William if Kate was "getting better."

"She'd have loved to be here," Prince William, 41, reportedly responded.

The Princess of Wales, 42, has remained out of the public eye since announcing on March 22 that she was diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. The update came after Kensington Palace announced that the royal had planned abdominal surgery in January. Princess Kate said that she would return to her royal work when the time was right in a self-written speech to share the news about her health.

"We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment," Princess Kate said in the video filmed in the garden of Windsor Castle, not far from her home at Adelaide Cottage where she lives with Prince William and their kids, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. "My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery."

Though the Princess of Wales has maintained a low profile in the weeks since, sources tell PEOPLE she has recently been spotted out with her family and solo running errands.

Prince William took a few weeks off from public royal duties after his wife shared her health news, returning to work in mid-April. The heir to the British throne has said several times at recent engagements since that his wife is "doing well."

During a visit to the Isles of Scilly on May 10, hospital administrator Tracy Smith asked Prince William, "May I ask how Princess Kate is doing?"

"She's doing well, thank you," he replied.

"Lovely, and the children as well?" Smith continued, to which William shared, "The children are very jealous that I'm here and that they're not here as well."

The Isles of Scilly are known to be a favorite summer getaway for William, Kate and their kids, and the royal couple has previously been spotted biking around Tresco. Vacationing on the islands off the southwest tip of England continues a tradition for William, as he spent time there as a boy with Princess Diana, the future King Charles and Prince Harry.

Prince William also brought Prince George to two soccer matches since Princess Kate shared the news about her health, attending games together on April 11 and May 25.
