What was reported
A plain summary of this topic, built from the channels that covered it.
The Princess of Wales visited the Royal Marsden Hospital, where she previously received treatment for cancer, to learn about plans for a new recovery or holistic care centre. She met patients and staff during the visit. The centre's funding is partly supported by money she raised through the Three Peaks Challenge. Reports indicate she is in remission. The channels differed on the timing of the challenge: BBC reported it was in July and last year, while Sky said it was in June this year. Sky also noted she is joint patron of the hospital, while BBC quoted her social media post about giving back.
