Catherine, Princess of Wales visited the hospital where she was treated for cancer, after doing a charity climb earlier this year to help fund its new unit.<\/p>\n

“This was my small way of being able to give back and say thank you,” Catherine told staff at the Royal Marsden in London on Friday.<\/p>\n

Middleton revealed she was having cancer treatment in 2024<\/a>, and said she was in remission in January 2025.<\/p>\n

In June this year, the princess carried out the Three Peaks Challenge<\/a> to help the hospital with funding, which involved climbing the highest peaks of England, Scotland and Wales in just 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The money raised, which is not public, will now be used for the The Centre for Holistic Wellbeing and Recovery, a unit offering complementary healing alongside clinical care.<\/p>\n

Middleton spoke to patients at the hospital about the importance of support for the whole person.<\/p>\n

“I had incredible care here and support from a huge team and I’m really, really grateful on a personal level,” she said.<\/p>\n

“But also the holistic care, the treatments and therapeutic support on the outside is so important.<\/p>\n

“It makes a big difference – the impact of nature, the impact of good nutrition, good ongoing support around you when it’s really difficult to manage the trials and tribulations of medical treatments.”<\/p>\n

A patient told her, “When you first get cancer, you’re very aware of the physical impact. The mental impact comes after.”<\/p>\n

The princess agreed, saying its “not just the physical changes your body is going through.<\/p>\n

“There’s a mind-body aspect that changes who you are… having professionals who can help you navigate that is really essential,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Catherine, Princess of Wales visited the hospital where she was treated for cancer, after doing a charity climb…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598194,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,111,139,69,6747,1745],"class_list":["post-598193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-royalty","tag-uk-europe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598193\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
