The Princess of Wales has carried out a surprise visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital where she received her cancer treatment.
Kate Middleton, dressed in a long dark tartan coat and burgundy polo neck and skirt, has personally thanked staff for her care.
She said as she arrived: ‘I was just saying, coming in the front entrance here, having made so many quiet, private visits, actually it’s quite nice.’
Kate met medical teams working in different roles at the hospital’s Chelsea site, and spent around an hour chatting to staff and speaking with patients.
Dame Cally Palmer, chief executive of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, said: ‘We were honoured to welcome Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales to The Royal Marsden in Chelsea this morning, and are delighted that Her Royal Highness is now joining His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales in becoming Joint Patrons of our specialist cancer centre.
‘We are incredibly fortunate to receive Royal Patronage – it is inspiring for staff and patients and enables us to shine a light on the outstanding work our staff deliver every day for patients and their families.’
