Prince William is following in his mother’s footsteps.

The Duke, who’s president of London’s Royal Marsden Hospital — like Princess Diana had been — is opening a children’s cancer unit there with his wife, Kate.

On September 29, the royal couple will tour the new pediatric center, meet patients and medical personnel, and officially open the unit with a plaque.

The Duchess of Cambridge is now spending “the next few months to get to know a number of charitable and other causes better,” says a spokesman, noting she plans to take a more active role in a number of philanthropies.
