Princess Catherine got the ultimate seal of approval from the Trump family following her latest announcement. The Princess of Wales completed the Three Peaks Challenge over the weekend.

Catherine climbed the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon – within 24 hours, starting on Saturday evening, to raise money for a cancer charity and “explore life beyond diagnosis”. Alongside a picture shared on social media, Catherine wrote: “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 Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.

“Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare.”

The princess’s post was liked by hundreds of thousands of people, including Ivanka Trump, the US President, Donald Trump’s, daughter, in what can be seen as a huge sign of support towards the royal.

Catherine carried out the challenge solo, supported en route by Mountain Rescue, and was greeted at the end by the Prince of Wales and her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton and brother James Middleton.

Kensington Palace said they believed the expedition was a royal first, with the princess being the first member of the Royal Family to complete the Three Peaks.

The royals celebrated the undertaking, with the monarchy’s official social media account posting: “Congratulations to The Princess of Wales.”

Catherine also made an undisclosed donation to support 11-year-old Ted Haslam, a wheelchair user she met during her charity trek over the weekend.
