The Princess of Wales visited the Royal Marsden Hospital in London on Friday morning to learn how money raised through her National Three Peaks Challenge is being spent.
In June, Catherine climbed the three highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours to raise funds for the hospital that treated her for cancer. The total raised has not been disclosed, and the money is being directed into holistic care.
Princess Kate's Message of Thanks
On arriving at the hospital, Catherine said: "This was my small way of being able to give back and say thank you to you. I had incredible care here and support from a huge team and I'm really really grateful on a personal level."
She added: "But also the holistic care, the treatments and therapeutic support on the outside is so important. It makes a big difference. The impact of nature, the impact of good nutrition, good ongoing support around you when it's really difficult to manage the trials and tribulations of medical treatments."
Meeting Patients and Staff
During her visit, Catherine met patients undergoing cancer treatment and those currently using the holistic therapies available at the hospital.
The visit followed her appearance in Liverpool yesterday with her husband, Prince William, as he launched a new suicide prevention toolkit.
