[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Recently, British Prince William and his son Prince George appeared at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham to watch a UEFA Europa League football match. This is the first time that the father and son have spoken publicly since Princess Kate announced her cancer condition. Many media regarded this "parent-child event" as a positive signal sent by the British royal family. Other media revealed that Prince William is expected to fully return to royal duties in the near future. In order to "balance work and family", he may adopt a new working model of "working from home".

According to CNN’s report on the 13th, William and his son watched a UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at Villa Park on the evening of the 11th, where the British Aston Villa team played against French Lille at home. In the end, the home team defeated the opponent with a record of 2:1. During the game, media cameras repeatedly captured the father and son standing up to applaud and cheer for the home team. The British "Daily Mirror" quoted body language experts as saying that the postures, expressions and even clapping movements of the father and son were exactly the same. It can be seen that their relationship has become closer after experiencing the tragedy at home.

Late last month, Princess Kate's announcement of cancer caused an uproar, and the William family even missed the royal family's traditional Easter services. According to public opinion, the father and son sharing the stage this time sent a positive signal, indicating that the family has adjusted well.

The American "Daily Beast" reported that Prince William plans to fully return to royal duties starting from the 15th. In order to take care of his wife and family life, he may rely on online work in the future. One of his friends even revealed to The Daily Beast that this new model of "remote working" may become the norm after William succeeds to the throne. After all, he needs to always seek a balance between state affairs and family affairs. (Liu Haoran)
