Kensington Palace stated that the expedition is believed to be a royal first, with Catherine being the first member of the Royal Family to complete the Three Peaks Challenge.
Fundraising and Awareness
In her social media post, Catherine wrote: “I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back. The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people. Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare.”
Additionally, Catherine made an undisclosed donation to support 11-year-old Ted Haslam, a wheelchair user she met during her charity trek over the weekend. The monarchy’s official social media account congratulated her, posting: “Congratulations to The Princess of Wales.”
