The Princess of Wales has made a surprise return to the Royal Marsden Hospital to personally thank staff who looked after her during her cancer treatment.
Kate spoke to workers as well as other patients at the London hospital in an important moment in her “personal journey” four months after confirming she was cancer-free.
It had not been previously disclosed that Kate, who underwent chemotherapy last year, was treated at the Marsden – a world-leading state-of-the art cancer centre known for its pioneering research.
“The princess wanted to make the journey to both show her gratitude to the incredible team, but also highlight the world leading care and treatment the Marsden provides,” a Kensington Palace spokesperson said.
It had not been previously known that Kate, who was diagnosed with cancer last year, was treated at the Marsden.
The princess was also said to want to show her support to those currently going through cancer treatment, and met patients receiving care at the hospital in central London on Tuesday.
The official engagement, Kate’s first of 2025, coincided with the announcement that the princess has become joint royal patron of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, joining the Prince of Wales in the role.
The patronage was once held by Diana, Princess of Wales.
