Kate Middleton said, "This was my small way of being able to give back and say thank you"
Kensington Palace has released Princess of Wales Kate Middleton’s stunning photos after she made a surprise visit to the hospital where she received her cancer treatment.
The palace shared the photos on its social media handles with Kate Middleton’s remarks.
Kate says, “Wonderful to spend time with patients, staff and families at The Royal Marsden Hospital, hearing about their vision for holistic cancer care.”
“From plans for the future Winter Garden and Centre for Holistic Wellbeing and Recovery to the supportive therapies already available, inspiring to learn how these services can help people through treatment, recovery and beyond,” the future queen further said.
“Encouraging to hear how funding raised through initiatives such as the Three Peaks Challenge could help support future developments, enhance patient care and advance research that may benefit people living with cancer across the UK,” the statement adds.
Kate, the wife of heir Prince William, underwent a course of preventative chemotherapy at the London hospital after major abdominal surgery in early 2024 revealed the presence of an unspecified form of cancer.
"This was my small way of being able to give back and say thank you," she said on a surprise visit to the Royal Marsden to hear how the funds she raised would be used to help the development of a new specialist Centre for Holistic Wellbeing and Recovery.
