Princess Kate says three peak challenge was her 'small' way to thank cancer hospital

The princess said the new centre will be transformative as funds from her Three Peaks challenge support whole-person cancer care for patients and families.

  • On Friday, the Princess of Wales visited the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust to review progress on the Centre for Holistic Wellbeing and Recovery, which will integrate physical, emotional, and spiritual care for cancer patients.
  • The Princess completed the National Three Peaks Challenge in June, scaling Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England, and Snowdon in Wales within 24 hours to raise funds for the hospital and explore life beyond diagnosis.
  • During the engagement, the Princess met patients currently undergoing treatment and learned how holistic care—integrating emotional, spiritual, and social wellbeing—enhances recovery alongside clinical medicine.
  • Following her own cancer journey, the Princess became joint patron of the trust in 2025 alongside Prince William, having received chemotherapy treatment at the hospital throughout 2024.
  • Throughout 2025 and 2026, the Princess has maintained a series of engagements at the facility, making Friday's visit part of her ongoing commitment to supporting fellow patients and advancing holistic cancer care.
