Princess Kate quietly returns to work following 3 Peaks challenge
Fresh off completing the gruelling Three Peaks challenge over the weekend, the Princess of Wales showed no signs of slowing down as she quietly returned to royal duties on Tuesday. Kate, 44, held a private meeting at Windsor Castle with Australian philanthropist Nicola Forrest, co-founder of the Minderoo Foundation. While no photos were released, the engagement could signal a long-hoped-for royal tour Down Under.
Kate climbed Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) to raise funds for the Royal Marsden, where she previously received cancer treatment. After walking 23 miles, she was sweetly greeted at the finish line by Prince William, their three children, her parents and her brother.
"I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back. The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life-changing for so many people," she explained.
King Charles makes exciting new appointment with a special link to Prince George
© Getty ImagesKing Charles has made an exciting new hire at his charity, appointing Sir Nicholas Coleridge as the new chairman of The King's Foundation. The 67-year-old recruit holds a special link to Prince George, as he serves as the Provost of Eton College, where the King's eldest grandson is set to attend this September.
Sir Nicholas told the Daily Mail's Richard Eden he was "delighted" to be asked to chair the Foundation after being a long-time trustee.
He shares the monarch's deep passions for traditional crafts, heritage conservation and sustainability, aligning with the charity's core vision of a world where we "live in harmony with nature." The author has a history with the royal family, having co-chaired the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee pageant in 2022 - the same year he was knighted - before being appointed Chair of Historic Royal Palaces by the King in 2023.
