Kate Middleton just sat down for a candid chat and made a pretty raw confession about one of the hardest treks she’s made in recent years.

For those unversed, this trek was the one she made to climb the Three Peaks Challenge, and shortly after she made headlines for the charitable initiative, by way of amassing large quantities in donations to The Royal Marsden Hospital.

Now, a few weeks since then, around the time of Wimbledon, she sat down with retired British tennis star Tim Henman, for a Royal Special of their Overheard at Wimbledon series.

During that chat the Princess wore her heart on her sleeve and gave praise to those around her for their efforts at keeping her going, during her desire to “give something back” to the community after a year of battling her undisclosed form of cancer.

While taking this trip down memory lane she said, “everyone's been so generous. That's what keeps you going; it's when you know you're doing it for a good cause - it keeps you going through the harder times.”
