Kate Middleton started the new year on the right foot after having one of the most difficult years of her life in 2024. The Princess of Wales carried out her first public appearance of the year in a very special and meaningful way for her, after going through overcoming cancer.

What was Kate Middleton’s first public appearance in 2025?
The future queen consort has visited the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where it has now been revealed that she received her cancer treatment. “The princess wanted to make this visit to show her gratitude to the incredible team, but also to highlight the world-leading care and treatment provided by the (Royal) Marsden,” a spokesperson for Kensington Palace, the residence of the Prince of Wales, stated in a press release.
The princess met with the patients to show them her support and personally thank all the staff at the center for their “exceptional care, support, and compassion” over the past few months.
Dressed in a brown checkered coat and a red dress, Middleton said as she walked into the healthcare center located in Chelsea that “coming through the main entrance here, after having made so many private and quiet visits, is actually quite nice.”
Kate greeted each patient one by one, gave hugs, and even greeted Scout, one of the therapy dogs at the hospital. She also inquired about the patients' illness and their progress, thus getting closer to a person who was receiving chemotherapy, asking if it was their first time being treated and how it was going. It was also revealed that the Princess of Wales and Prince William will be patrons of this hospital, a role that Princess Diana also fulfilled.
