Catherine hosts Three Peaks fundraisers for tea at Windsor Castle

Catherine, Princess of Wales, has hosted fellow Three Peaks Challenge participants and their families for tea at Windsor Castle, reuniting with people she met during a fundraising climb in June. She completed the challenge — climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon within 24 hours — to raise money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. [1]

Among the guests was 11-year-old Ted Haslam, who uses a wheelchair. Catherine met him on Ben Nevis, where he was undertaking the challenge with help from family and friends. Ted was raising money for Molly Olly’s Wishes, a charity supporting children with serious illnesses. [1]

Accounts differ on the day of the tea. Two British reports published on Friday 25 September place it on the preceding Tuesday, while Dutch outlet Nieuws.nl says it took place on Friday. [1] [2] [3]
