Princess Kate completes Three Peaks Challenge for cancer charity
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.
