It\u2019s such a shock.\u201d <\/p>\n The palace also announced Kate had become joint patron of the specialist cancer center, alongside her husband, Prince William. <\/strong> <\/p>\n Kensington Palace said that the princess had wanted to return to the hospital \u201cto both show her gratitude to the incredible team, but also highlight the world leading care and treatment the Marsden provides.\u201d <\/p>\n Prince William last week praised his wife and mother of their three children as she celebrated her 43rd birthday, saying \u201cthe <\/strong>strength you\u2019ve shown over the last year has been remarkable.\u201d <\/p>\n The Royal Marsden was the world\u2019s first hospital dedicated to cancer diagnosis, treatment, research and education when it first opened in 1851.
