Overview
- On Sunday the couple’s official Instagram published intimate photos of Kate’s emotional reunion with Prince William, their three children and her parents at the foot of Snowdon.
- The post followed Kate’s solo completion of the National Three Peaks Challenge within 24 hours, a route that includes Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon and that Kensington Palace says is believed to be a royal first.
- Mountain Rescue provided support during the trek and the princess has linked the effort to a Royal Marsden fundraising page set up to back holistic services for people living with and beyond cancer.
- During the challenge Kate met an 11-year-old wheelchair user, Ted, and later donated to his JustGiving page, a moment she described as a highlight of the route.
- The images and messaging frame Kate’s feat as part of her recovery story and are likely to boost public awareness and donations for wider support services at The Royal Marsden, the hospital that treated her.
