Royal Family member and cancer patient Katherine Field shared an emotional experience with Princess Kate during a visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. Field, who was undergoing treatment for cancer, revealed that she discussed cold cap therapy with the princess, which helped reduce hair loss.
The 43-year-old royal made an unannounced visit to the hospital on January 14, meeting with staff and patients undergoing treatment. Field said they had a personal connection when discussing her diagnosis and treatment, saying Kate was “just like talking to a friend.”
During their conversation, Princess Kate mentioned that she didn’t require cold cap therapy herself during her cancer treatment, citing concerns about losing her iconic hair. This revelation made Field feel at ease and added a special moment to the encounter.
Field described meeting Kate as feeling like sitting with a friend and said her gestures of reassurance, such as putting a hand on her knee, were comforting. The princess also expressed genuine empathy towards cancer patients, acknowledging the long journey of treatment.
The royal visited the hospital during Field’s fourth treatment session and asked about her experience with treatment. Field shared that Kate had told her she was “lucky” to be getting exceptional care from the Marsden.
Princess Kate later posted on social media expressing gratitude to the Royal Marsden Hospital for their care during her cancer treatment, thanking staff and patients for their support.
The royal has now revealed herself as a cancer patient, sharing her insights into her diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
