Prince William met cancer patients and leading researchers at the opening of a new state-of-the-art treatment centre today - and gave reassuring words to one mum with the disease.
In his role as the president of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, the prince unveiled a plaque to mark the opening of the Oak Cancer Centre in Sutton, London.
Walking into the day patient ward, William was reunited with Matron Lorraine Hyde, who he had first met while on work experience with the Trust.
