The King and Kate are closer than ever before, writes Robert Hardman

The King walked out for the first time since his cancer diagnosis this morning. He was greeted by a crowd outside St George's Chapel in London. The King's walkabout was a sign our King is getting better, says Robert Hardman. He says it's a sign he's getting better after being diagnosed with cancer.

The Princess's diagnosis has also served to bring the King closer to his elder son and even closer to Catherine. The King and Kate are closer than ever before, writes Robert Hardman. On a personal level - and this is all about two deeply personal royal crises - he says.

Queen Camilla accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Edinburghs, the Princess Royal, the Gloucesters and the Duke of Kent. They were the supporting act. The Prince and Duchess of Cambridge were also in attendance at the event in New York City, New York.
