Princess Kate Makes Private Visit to Ever After Garden, Leaving Handwritten Tribute

The stop highlighted fundraising for The Royal Marsden, the hospital that treated her.

Overview

  • Princess Kate visited the Ever After Garden in Chelsea on December 13 and dedicated a rose with a note reading, “In loving memory of all those who have lost their lives to cancer — C.”
  • She shared a video of the visit on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Instagram, thanking contributors to the installation and signing the caption with her initial.
  • The seasonal display features more than 30,000 illuminated white roses in Duke of York Square and raises money for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
