‘So grateful to be here’: Princess of Wales completes Three Peaks challenge

The Princess of Wales shared how she is “so grateful to be here” and “strong enough to walk these hills” as she completed the Three Peaks Challenge.

Kate took on the gruelling “personal” expedition this weekend to raise money for a cancer charity and “explore life beyond diagnosis”.

The future queen climbed the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon – within 24 hours, starting on Saturday evening.

She carried out the challenge solo, supported en route by Mountain Rescue, and was greeted at the end by the Prince of Wales and her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and her parents Carole and Michael Middleton and brother James Middleton.
