Hiker Recalls Meeting the Princess
Fellow hiker Jacky Leung, who has 5,500 followers, shared his encounter with the royal on social media. He wrote: "Princess Catherine at the Ben! What an epic day at the Ben yesterday, with all the coincidences that happened, and finally had a f2f short conversation with Princess Catherine! Firstly, paid attention to 2 cameramen walking uphill. One of them just set up a camera to shoot a very lean female hiker hiking up." Leung added: "I was speechless once I saw her and could not respond with any proper names to greet her. Just feeling so confused and so psyched at that split-second." He revealed that he told Catherine she was "so inspiring," to which she modestly replied, "Thank you."

The National Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis, 1,345m), England (Scafell Pike, 978m), and Wales (Snowdon, 1,085m) within 24 hours. Catherine's completion of the gruelling trek marks a significant personal achievement.
