Tuesday January 14, 2025, Kate Middleton undertook her first solo public engagement in more than a year by visiting the London hospital where she underwent her chemotherapy treatment. Prince William's wife wanted to return to the Royal Marsden to meet other people with cancer and thank the nursing staff who were present during her treatment. Strong and moving moments for the mother of George, Louis and Charlotte who recently announced that she was in remission.
This staff accompanied me
According to the Dailymailhowever, this was not the first time that the 43-year-old princess returned to express her most sincere thanks to the team. “This staff accompanied with William as we went through all the trials“, she confided with emotion. A few weeks ago, she had already visited the center just before Christmas, during a festive visit.
A “particularly thoughtful” gesture
According to the British tabloid, Kate also brought the doctors and nurses festive gifts and treats, including cookies, as a token of thanks. During the visit, the princess reportedly told other patients that she was “so grateful for all the care and support” that she received during her treatment. A source described this gesture as “particularly attentive” from Kate.
-However, we do not know how much time Pippa's sister spent with them during this private visit, as it was not recorded in the Court Circular, the official record of royal engagements. The last time Kate had come as a patient was before the fall, when she announced with relief that she had completed her preventative chemotherapy treatment.
Kate Middleton: her new role at Chelsea Hospital
Kate Middleton has since become co-patron of Chelsea Hospital in London, alongside her husband, who was already its president. In this role, she will continue to make regular visits to the hospital, both publicly and privately, to provide support to other patients and the healthcare team. “This is a lifetime commitment” said a source.
One of the areas that the princess wants to help with is how to offer cancer patients and their families the best possible support for their physical and emotional well-being, both at the time of their diagnosis and of their treatment, but also to deal with long-term side effects and holistic care.
