Princess Kate completes Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for cancer charity

Princess Kate, the Princess of Wales, finished the National Three Peaks Challenge—climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon within 24 hours—to support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, the hospital that treated her after a 2024 cancer diagnosis. In a social‑media post she said cancer “does not only affect the body” and highlighted the need for holistic care that addresses physical, mental, social and spiritual well‑being.

The weekend trek raised public donations and awareness, and Kate later sent a personal note and a £1,000‑£2,000 donation to 11‑year‑old Ted Haslam, who completed the challenge in a wheelchair, using the rare signature “Catherine Wales.” She also appeared at Wimbledon, greeting fans in the queue and meeting children from the Shine Camera Club, reinforcing her patronage of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

Across the coverage, the event is described as the first time a senior royal has completed the three‑peak ascent, and the effort is framed as a way to give back and promote holistic health for cancer patients.
