Overview

In early June 2024 Kate, Princess of Wales, visited Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester, speaking about the "chemo fog" she experienced and how colouring helped her cope. Over the following months she attended Wimbledon, completed a 24‑hour National Three Peaks Challenge on 4 July 2024 to raise money for the Royal Marsden Hospital, and took part in several high‑profile charity polo matches and trophy presentations, maintaining a visible fashion presence throughout her treatment.

On 19 July 2026 she again tackled the Three Peaks Challenge, re‑uniting with her family at the summit, followed two days later by a public embrace with William that suggested a more open post‑remission phase.

A week later, on 23 July 2026, Kate returned to the Christie Hospital, addressing patients about the side‑effects of chemotherapy, the strain on families, and her recent three‑peak trek undertaken with her brother in support of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. At the same event Queen Consort Camilla marked the 40th anniversary of the Royal Osteoporosis Society and referenced King Charles’s undisclosed cancer.

By 28 July 2026, palace insiders reported that Kate had fully recovered and was prioritising family, but warned that her workload had become “unsustainably heavy.” They noted her continued use of colouring as a coping tool and expressed concern that an overly demanding schedule might threaten her health in the future.
