The trip marked a deeply personal connection for Catherine
The Princess of Wales stepped out today in London wearing an emerald "Flippy Wiggle Dress" from Suzannah London, a piece priced at £2,790.
Crafted from pure Italian silk crepe, the design draws on a late 1940s silhouette from the brand's own vintage archive.
Catherine, 44, returned to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London on Friday morning, the facility where she underwent her own cancer treatment.
She paired the dress with Camilla Elphick Lucia slingback pumps in black, footwear she first debuted in July, and left her hair down.
This was not the first outing for the emerald frock; Catherine originally chose it three years ago when she visited the Anna Freud Centre to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.
On that occasion, she accessorised with cream and black heels from Alessandra Rich, which carried a distinctly Chanel-inspired elegance with their understated strap design.
The decision to bring the dress back reflects the Princess's well-established habit of revisiting favourite wardrobe pieces.
Catherine clearly favours the Flippy Wiggle silhouette; she also owns it in white and has worn that version on five public occasions since 2019.
This includes engagements at Wimbledon, a baby bank, a memorial service, a pub visit, and most recently at the Evelina London Children's Hospital in July.
Catherine's visit on Friday focused on how money raised by her National Three Peaks Challenge will be used to enhance holistic support for cancer patients across the United Kingdom.
The trip marked a deeply personal connection for the mother of three, who has channelled her experience into championing better care for others facing similar diagnoses.
She learned directly how the ongoing fundraising efforts tied to the challenge are set to reshape the way patients receive comprehensive support during their treatment journeys.
Elsewhere on Friday, the Princess of Wales praised the “incredible” cancer care she received at the Royal Marsden when she returned to thank hospital staff in person.
The future Queen sat down to chat to cancer patients and described one father living with a brain tumour as an “inspiration” after they bonded about the support they received from their children.
