Prince George is all grown up and eye-level with his mom, Kate Middleton, in new pics shared by the royal family in the wake of the princess’ recent cancer update.
“This time last week, completing the National Three Peaks Challenge,” the princess of Wales, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, July 5, alongside a slew of photographs featuring the royal family at the mountaineering event, which takes place across various mountains located in Scotland, England and Wales.
“A huge thank you to everybody who has supported The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity,” the princess continued in the caption. “To find out more or donate, please visit link in bio.”
In the photos, the royal could be seen embracing her husband, Prince William, as well as their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. In one pic, the mom of three can be seen with one arm around George as she appears to speak with Louis — her oldest meeting her at eye-level.
In another picture, taken from behind George as he looks towards his mom, the princess can be seen patting her son on the back, who appears to be at or near her height.
Kate had previously revealed her decision to compete in the event, noting that she wasn’t looking to just be challenged physically.
“I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back,” the princess wrote via Instagram on June 28. “The Royal Marsden [hospital] is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.”
The princess of Wales was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer back in 2024, shortly before undergoing a preventative round of chemotherapy treatment. In January 2025, Kate confirmed she was in remission.
“Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare,” the royal continued of her participation of the event. “Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis.”
Prince George made his first appearance at the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance service. George, 12, joined his mother, Princess Kate Middleton, at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, November 8. The mother and son sat in a royal box with King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince Edward, Duchess Sophie and other members of […]
She concluded, “Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.”
The princess was candid about how a cancer diagnosis does not just impact the body, but the mind — especially when treatment alters every facet of a person’s life.
“Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no on wants to hear,” she wrote via Instagram. “What follows is a path that tests every part of who we are: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The challenges ripple outwards, touching families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend along with our thoughts.”
