The Princess of Wales visits Royal Marsden Hospital

The Princess of Wales has joined The Prince of Wales to become Joint Patrons of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.

The patronage update has been announced following a visit by Her Royal Highness to the hospital’s Chelsea site and follows The Princess’ own personal cancer journey, during which she received treatment from The Royal Marsden.

The visit saw Her Royal Highness meet patients undergoing treatment as well as staff working in different roles across the hospital.

The Royal Marsden opened its doors in 1851 as the world’s first hospital dedicated to cancer diagnosis, treatment, research and education. Today, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is a world-leading cancer centre operating across three sites in Chelsea, Sutton and Cavendish Square in central London. 

The Prince of Wales held the role of President of The Royal Marsden from 2007; a position which was previously held by his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
