Just In: Princess Kate shares emotional message after Three Peaks Challenge
Princess Catherine has taken to Instagram to share a heartfelt message after completing the Three Peaks Challenge this weekend. The princess conquered the three biggest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity which she says is “very dear” to her.
Princess Catherine was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer at the start of 2024 and undertook six months of chemotherapy. In an Instagram clip, she says: “Lots of people have asked me why I am doing this challenge and partly it’s personal – I’m so grateful to be here, to be strong enough to walk these hills. But, more importantly, it’s to give something back and acknowledge really, all of the incredible work going on up and down this country.
She adds: “I’ve met some incredible people – those people who are living with and beyond cancer and I know personally how difficult that journey is.
“I really wanted to use this opportunity as my way of contributing to all the wonderful work that’s going on and in particular to support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity – an organisation very dear to me – but who do extraordinary work, supporting those living with and beyond the disease.”
In the comments, royal fans have praised the princess.
One person wrote: “Words that heal!! You’re amazing, we love you.
Another fan penned: “So many people feel seen. Thank you for all that you share and do to make a difference.
Another said: “Great! Your strength, grace, and honesty are truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey and reminding us that healing is not just about the body, but also about finding the courage to live fully again.
Wishing you continued health, happiness, and many beautiful moments ahead.”
The money raised will go towards improving access to holistic healthcare, as she is passionate about supporting the whole person alongside clinical treatment.
Greeting her at the finish line were her husband, Prince William, her three children, her parents and her brother.
