Overview
- On Dec. 13, the Princess of Wales privately visited the Ever After Garden in Chelsea and placed a rose with a note reading, “In loving memory of all those who have lost their lives to cancer – C.”
- A video montage shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Instagram confirmed the visit, with Kate thanking contributors and meeting volunteers and staff.
- The Ever After Garden features about 30,000 illuminated white roses, is supported by roughly 400 volunteers, and remains open through Dec. 16 for donations and dedications.
- Since launching in 2019, the installation has raised about £1.6 million for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, including around £400,000 this year.
- Kate received treatment at The Royal Marsden and is now in remission; she and Prince William became joint patrons of the Trust earlier this year, and organizers publicly thanked her for the private visit as outlets noted the timing near King Charles’ update that his treatment will be reduced.
