The Princess of Wales has visited the hospital where she received treatment for her own cancer diagnosis. Princess Kate met patients at The Royal Marsden Hospital who are currently undergoing treatment and personally thanked staff working in different roles across the hospital. Speaking about holistic care, The Princess said sometimes loved ones "need support just as much as I did as the patient". Princess Kate hugged a cancer patient and petted a therapy dog named Scout. Her Royal Highness has become a joint patron of the NHS Trust with Prince William. Report by Brooksl.
