4 June 2026<\/time>\n <\/p>\nCatherine, Princess of Wales shared a hug and an emotional moment with a woman who was ending her cancer treatment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Catherine, Princess of Wales, met with cancer patients and their families<\/p>\n
\nThe 44-year-old royal – who stepped out of the public eye in 2024 to receive treatment for an undisclosed form of the disease – met with patients and their families at The Christie hospital in Manchester, North West England, on Thursday (04.06.26) and she cheered on 30-year-old Claire Lorente as she “rang the bell” to signify a milestone in her recovery.<\/p>\n
\nAs Claire stood waiting to ring the bell, watched on by tearful husband Pablo and their young son Enzo, Catherine stepped over to give her a hug and continued to stroke her arm as they chatted.<\/p>\n
\nThe princess said: \u201cWell done, well done you. What a journey… a tough one. Well done, you\u2019ve been amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nShe then offered a hug to Pablo and said: “I know it’s just as hard for families and loved ones.<\/p>\n
\n“I know how hard it was for the children and my parents. You go through it with them.”<\/p>\n
\nAs she saw the couple’s baby, she exclaimed: \u201cWho\u2019s this! I saw you earlier, didn\u2019t I! Isn\u2019t mummy brave?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe princess then stepped back and offered encouragement as Claire prepared to ring the bell.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cThis is your day. You can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nClaire admitted afterwards the moment had been “overwhelming”.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “Finishing the treatment itself was a massive thing, so obviously sharing [it] with the Princess was overwhelming but absolutely brilliant at the same time.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMy journey is not over but feels like I\u2019ve finished a part of it, and feels like I\u2019ve come so far. It was an amazing lifetime thing to share it with her and I\u2019m never going to get to do it again.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI don\u2019t think anyone else will experience what I experienced with her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDuring her visit, Catherine – who has three children with husband Prince William – spoke to several patients.<\/p>\n
\nShe asked: \u201cHow are you managing? What the human body can put up with is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhen one man said he “couldn’t have done it” without the support of his wife, she replied: \u201cI was just saying, it\u2019s hard for the loved ones.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou need to support yourself alongside all the things you can\u2019t control. Your body changes so much, not just physically, emotionally, the deeper side of ourselves.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s so hard for the families. It puts so much in perspective and you hold on to what\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe princess visited the hospital’s art therapy room and wellbeing garden, and Kensington Palace said she wanted to use the trip to highlight the \u201chealing power of holistic care, alongside clinical care, during and beyond cancer treatment\u201d.<\/p>\n
