In a sweet and thoughtful gesture, Princess Catherine of Wales has sent beautiful spring flowers to staff at The Royal Marsden – the hospital where she was treated for cancer.
Along with the flowers, Katherine wrote a note: “To the patients and staff of the Royal Marsden, as spring arrives, these narcissi from the Isles of Scilly say I’m thinking of you all. Katherine.”
The Princess of Wales became joint patron of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust on January 14, 2025, with her husband, Prince William, who has been chairman since 2007.
The Royal Marsden wrote: “Many thanks to HRH The Princess of Wales,
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to HRH The Princess of Wales, Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden, for her generous donation of the beautiful narcissi, which will be displayed in our hospitals for the enjoyment of our patients and staff. An incredibly thoughtful gesture.”
The photos show staff members treating cancer patients, and bouquets of flowers are also displayed.
Fans flocked to social media to comment on the sweet gesture. One wrote, “What a thoughtful delivery.”
Another said, “Beautiful sentiments and thoughts. She is a pure, gentle soul, and we are so lucky to have her.”
One wrote, “My husband is currently undergoing treatment at the Royal Marsden and they have been absolutely wonderful!”
In January 2025, Katherine revealed that she was in remission from cancer. Cancer Research UK says the term “remission” means there are no signs of cancer after treatment.
In her previous message on social media, Katherine thanked the Royal Marsden Hospital for their “exceptional” care and for looking after her “so well”.
She expressed her gratitude to everyone who silently supported her and William as they faced their challenges. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.”
