Overview
- On December 25, the Princess of Wales wore the same burgundy Blaze Milano coat to the Sandringham church service that she chose for her unannounced visit to The Royal Marsden in January.
- Her January appearance at the Chelsea site included meetings with patients and staff and quietly confirmed that The Royal Marsden played a role in her cancer treatment.
- Kensington Palace later announced that Catherine and Prince William had been named joint patrons of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.
- In a public message earlier this year, she said she was in remission following treatment in 2024 and noted she was focusing on recovery after completing chemotherapy in September 2024.
- Fashion commentators interpreted the repeated coat as a deliberate signal linked to her journey, while a Palace source has emphasized her preference to keep attention on people and causes rather than clothes.
