Our statement on our Royal Patron

22 March 2024

We wish our Royal Patron, HRH The Princess of Wales, a full recovery following today’s announcement that she is having preventative cancer treatment.

We send her and her family our very best wishes at this challenging time.

It can be difficult to know how to talk to children and young people about cancer. If this news has impacted your family or the children you work with, there is some useful advice available from Macmillan Cancer Support.
