She undertook the challenge alone, supported along the route by Mountain Rescue, and was greeted at the base of Snowdon on Sunday evening by Prince William, their three children, her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and her brother, James Middleton.
From announcing her cancer diagnosis...
To climbing the 3 highest mountains in Britain in just 24 hours to honour the hospital that cared for her and spread a message of hope.
The Princess of Wales continues to inspire. I’m so proud of her 🥺❤️
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no one wants to hear. What follows is a path that tests every part of who we are: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The challenges ripple outwards, touching families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend alone with our thoughts.
Cancer doesn’t just affect the body. It changes how you think and feel and profoundly affects every aspect of life. I know this personally, and that the journey through and beyond treatment requires more than medicine alone.
I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back. The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.
Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare. Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis. Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.
We have an opportunity to reshape what the future of holistic cancer care looks like, enabling more people, nationwide, to access the kind of personalised support that can help make a meaningful difference during and after medical treatment.
This challenge will support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping to transform access to, and understanding of, holistic care that will enhance recovery and healing for patients across the UK.
Healing, whether personal or collective, is not just about fixing what is wrong. It is about finding balance in how we live. Between effort and acceptance, between control and trust, between thinking and simply being. Because in the end, bravery isn’t just about pushing forward. It is about knowing how to stay grounded, connected and present, no matter the terrain, or landscape you are walking through.
Together, we can stand alongside everyone navigating life with cancer, ensuring no one faces this disease feeling unseen or unsupported.
Please know you are not alone.

The Princess of Wales completed the Three Peaks Challenge this weekend to help spread her message of hope about life during and after cancer, while raising money for The Royal Marsden 💙
The iconic challenge involves climbing the highest peaks in Scotland, England, and Wales- Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)- all within 24 hours!
Catherine was welcomed at the finish by all her family 🥹👏
Hi #Punch lovers☕ 💚
I hope you're having a wonderful day or night!😊🌼🤍🤍
Just like the zoo announced a few hours ago, Punch’s schedule is changing. I was on the highway earlier so I’m catching up on everything now haha 😎🤭..
Thank you so much for all the videos and photos everyone has been sharing.
Look at Punch’s fingers and toes~ They’ve grown so long! This is actually important , last month he bumped his little head while playing 😂 Longer fingers and toes will help him grip better and prevent those accidents.
He’s still just a baby, so everything about him is extra adorable.and
Here’s the official update from Ichikawa City Animal and Plant Garden:
Punch and Saruyama on 6/28 (Sun)
Zookeeper: "Starting next week, we're changing the feeding method for Punch. It's an important step toward integrating him into the group. #gohanMo probably won't change, though... Punch is the most active in a day after the zoo closes. He's always bustling around like this."

Have a wonderful day. ☕🌼
Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
