Tue Jan 14 22:10:00 UTC 2025: **Princess Catherine Announces Cancer Remission, Becomes Royal Marsden Hospital Patron**

LONDON, January 15, 2025 – Catherine, Princess of Wales, announced on Tuesday that she is in remission from cancer following treatment at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London. The Princess shared the news on Instagram, alongside a photograph from her visit to the hospital with Prince William.

The couple’s visit marked their appointment as joint patrons of the hospital, a role which will see them supporting the institution’s research, clinical excellence, and patient well-being. In a statement, Princess Catherine expressed her gratitude to the hospital staff and reflected on the past year, acknowledging the challenging journey of her cancer diagnosis and treatment. She emphasized her hope that her patronage will help save lives and improve the cancer experience for patients and their families.

The Princess, who turned 43 last week, first revealed her cancer diagnosis last March, stating she was undergoing chemotherapy. She completed treatment in September and has since gradually returned to public life. This is the first time the Royal Family has publicly disclosed the location of her treatment.

A Kensington Palace spokesperson emphasized the Princess’s desire to both express her thanks to the hospital and highlight the world-leading care it provides. The visit was described as “incredibly poignant.” The Princess’s cancer diagnosis came weeks after King Charles III also revealed he was undergoing cancer treatment. Both have since resumed their public duties.

The Royal Marsden Hospital, established in 1851, is the world’s first hospital dedicated to cancer treatment and research.
