Thank you to everyone at The Christie for such a moving visit today.

Meeting patients, families and staff was a powerful reminder that healing is about so much more than treatment alone. A cancer diagnosis affects every part of life, in mind, body and the deeper part of ourselves. The way we process fear, uncertainty and change is deeply personal.

The Christie’s commitment to holistic care, from art therapy and wellbeing spaces to emotional and spiritual support, helps people navigate not only illness, but the profound impact it can have on quality of life. These services empower patients to play an active role in their recovery and wellbeing, reminding us that care should always be centred on the whole person.

Thank you for sharing your stories with me, and for the compassion, creativity and dedication shown every day across the hospital.

An emotional moment for sure at Christie Cancer Care Hospital as Catherine, The Princess of Wales watches a patient ring the cancer bell signifying the end of her treatment! I’m sure that reminds Catherine of her own time as well.

The Princess unexpectedly met Claire Lorente, 30, who was about to ring the bell after hearing she is free from breast cancer.

A very emotional exchange with Catherine telling her: "Well done... what a journey, it's been a tough one."

The #PrincessofWales at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Withington Manchester today-she meets a woman who has finished her cancer treatment and gets to ring the bell.
Catherine’s empathy comes from a place of experience since she and her family have gone thru this very thing. I appreciate too how she speaks in a low tone to try and keep the conversation private. She’s not just going around performatively hugging everyone she meets-she has a shared trauma and relatability with this woman and you can feel how genuine she is. She’s going to be an incredible Queen. #PrincessCatherine #RoyalFamily

Hold onto your hats! 👒

It was a blustery morning at the Founder’s Day Parade in the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea, where The Queen reviewed troops on parade and delivered an address.

🫡 The Royal Hospital Chelsea is home to the Chelsea Pensioners, retired soldiers of the British Army. Since 1692, it has offered care, community and comradeship to veterans.
