The Princess of Wales completed the demanding Three Peaks challenge to raise money for a cancer charity on the weekend, making her the first member of the royal family to achieve the feat. In support of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, Kate climbed the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) within 24 hours, starting on the evening of Saturday 27 June.

To complete the inspiring feat, Kate sported practical hiking clothes – many of which hail from the high street. She layered a navy Fjällräven wool tee (£70, Fjallraven.com) underneath Härkila sandhem pro insulated cardigan (£229.99, Harkila.com). During the Ben Nevis hike, she wore Fjällräven abisko hybrid trail trousers (£195, Fjallraven.com). Meanwhile coming down Snowdon, Kate appeared to have switched to The North Face summit series pacesetter 3 shorts (£65, Thenorthface.com)

On Kate’s back, the Fjällräven lappland hike 15 daypack carried all her necessities (£195, Fjallraven.com), while she wore a cap from the same brand, a navy Fjällräven est 1960 cap (£45, Fjallraven.com). Adding a touch of personality, The Princess wore her favourite Spells of Love teardrop garnet charm hoops (£89, Spellsoflove.co.uk).

Taking on one of Britain's toughest hiking expeditions, the Princess of Wales has been dedicated to raising awareness of cancer recovery after she was diagnosed with the disease in 2024 and treated at the Royal Marsden hospital.
