King Charles, who shares a close bond with his beloved daughter-in-law, decided to honor Princess Kate after she shared a positive update on her health.
Princess Kate was diagnosed with cancer just a month after Buckingham Palace announced Charles’ cancer diagnosis. While Catherine is now in remission, the King continues to receive treatment.
However, given the timing of their health conditions, the two royals have grown closer and shared their struggles with the disease. In a bid to raise awareness and overcome the personal challenge of dealing with cancer, the royal undertook a grueling expedition to climb Scotland’s highest peak in 24 hours.
After sharing a lengthy message about the outing, which quickly became a source of inspiration for the public, the Palace gave Kate a nod to her latest achievement.
“Congratulations to the Princess of Wales,” said the King’s message.
Princess Kate explained that the reason she took on the National Three Peaks Challenge was
“not simply as a physical effort but as an opportunity to explore life beyond the diagnosis and give something back.”
He noted that cancer tests one “physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually” and the “challenges extend outward, affecting families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend alone with our thoughts.”
