Princess Kate has marked her first major challenge since entering cancer remission by completing the National Three Peaks in under 24 hours, Kensington Palace confirmed on Sunday night, releasing a new photograph of the Princess of Wales on the summit of Ben Nevis and a strikingly personal statement on how cancer has 'profoundly' reshaped her life.
The update comes more than a year after Princess Kate revealed in January 2025 that she was in remission following chemotherapy at The Royal Marsden hospital, having been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer at the start of 2024. After six months of treatment and a gradual return to public duties, including a recent official visit to Italy, this weekend's endurance feat is being framed by the Palace as both a symbol of recovery and a deliberate attempt to shift the conversation around life after serious illness.
