Overview
- The Princess of Wales completed the National Three Peaks Challenge — Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon — within 24 hours at the end of June to raise money for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
- Speaking in an Overheard at Wimbledon clip, she confirmed the 24‑hour timeframe, described the weather as "atrocious" and said public donations had "blown" her away.
- Kensington Palace said the climb is believed to be a royal first; the Princess was met at the finish by Prince William, their children and family and official reunion photos were shared.
- Mountain Rescue teams supported the royal effort, and regional coverage of a parallel fundraiser by Rev Alan Saunders reported that heat and Mountain Rescue advice forced his group to abandon Scafell Pike and limited their ascent.
- Fundraising pages for The Royal Marsden remain active as the Princess uses the challenge to promote holistic care for people living beyond cancer and to thank donors who helped sustain her through the climb.
