Kate shares poignant moment with young mother completing cancer treatment during hospital visit

The Princess of Wales surprised a young mother who had just completed her chemotherapy treatment during a hospital cancer ward visit.

On Thursday (4 June), Princess Kate Middleton attended The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester where she met with Claire Lorente, 30, and her partner Pablo and son Enzo, as they rang the bell.

She told Claire that she had “done brilliantly”, whilst she told Pablo: “Well done. It’s just as hard for the family and loved ones.”

Last year, Kate revealed that she was in remission after receiving chemotherapy treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer following her diagnosis in 2024.
