An excited Guillermo thanks Tom Cruise for his support: jokes between pilots and a nod to 'Mission Impossible'

It was a night of reunions for Guillermo. The Prince of Wales attended the London Air Ambulance charity gala, which marked his first appearance in front of a microphone after his father, Charles III, announced that he has cancer. Also, they were his first words in public about Kate, who is recovering from the abdominal operation that kept her hospitalized for two weeks. In this gala, the heir drew on strength of mind and sense of duty and relied on Tom Cruise. The 61-year-old Hollywood superstar, who attended the charity party, shares with the prince his passion for airplanes and helicopters. This was their meeting.

The British press had already announced it. Guillermo's first words about the illnesses of his father, 75, and his wife, 42, would come at the London Air Ambulance gala: “Thank you for the kind messages of support to Kate and my father, regarding “all in the last few days. They mean a lot to us.” With a sense of humor, he slipped in: “I've been quite focused on medical matters lately. So I thought I'd come to an air ambulance event to unwind.”

The Prince of Wales was also very grateful to Tom Cruise, whose role as a pilot in Top Gun, catapulted him to fame. Furthermore, she threw a joke at him: “Tom, thank you very much for supporting us tonight. If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you didn't borrow any of the new helicopters for next time. 'Mission Impossible“, as collected The Sun.

The reappearance of the heir in this gala is given by his strong bond as an ambulance pilot, a job he did in the air emergency service of the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA). William, who began his pilot training in 2008 in the British Royal Air Force (RAF), stopped flying in 2017 to focus on his work as successor to the Throne. For his part, the actor and producer has been a professional pilot for 30 years.

They both got in tune in very elegant black tailored suits with black bow ties. When they greeted each other, they were very affectionate and smiling. Guillermo, a big movie buff, thanked Cruise for his presence and support.
