Princess Kate completes Three Peaks Challenge for cancer charity

other · 2026-06-28

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, scaled the three highest peaks in Britain within 24 hours to raise funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. The 44-year-old, who is in remission after chemotherapy for an undisclosed cancer, completed the National Three Peaks Challenge—Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis, and Snowdon—over the weekend. She described the feat as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and give back to the hospital where she received treatment. The Royal Marsden holds great meaning for her, she said, praising its life-changing care. Kate has returned to royal duties but has spoken about the toll illness has taken on her family.
