Princess of Wales throws party for boy who completed epic challenge in wheelchair

  • The Princess of Wales hosted a special afternoon tea at Windsor Castle for fellow fundraisers she met while undertaking the Three Peaks Challenge for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
  • In June, the princess scaled Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon within a 24-hour period, becoming believed to be the first member of the royal family to complete the gruelling feat.

  • The tea party was also attended by record-breaker Trish Patterson, the fastest woman to complete the challenge on foot in under six days, and fellow fundraiser Shaun McCormick.
