To mark #CancerPreventionActionWeek, I would like to urge anyone who is able to be diligent with their health check ups. I’m determined to do whatever I can to help raise awareness by sharing my experience. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer, this year and had it not been for the diligence and care of my physicians, my situation could have been so much worse. It was a busy 2023 and I almost put off my routine mammogram, but my sister Jane convinced me to go. After undergoing a mastectomy and reconstruction, I could only hope that I was in the clear, which is why a new diagnosis of skin cancer came as a shock. I’m now in the best hands and feeling positive with the support of my family. Days could make the difference between life and death, so please don’t skip or put off your #healthchecks and urge your loved ones to go to theirs. Help #preventcancer. #CancerAwareness

It was a pleasure to attend the Cancer Alliance Hope and Help Luncheon, my first event since my melanoma diagnosis and since hearing of His Majesty The King’s recent cancer diagnosis. His Majesty is very dear to me and I think I speak for everyone when I say he is in my thoughts and prayers.
It felt like a timely moment to help raise funds to support others dealing with cancer diagnoses, who may be going through financial or emotional struggles in light of a health emergency. It was both healing and inspiring to meet so many amazing ladies, who do so much for others through their work with Cancer Alliance. Learn more at @canceralliancepalmbeach or https://www.cahh.org/

#ChildrensAuthorWeek! I feel very lucky to be able to call myself a children’s book author as a mother and now as a grandmother! Creating magic with my girls when they were young is what brought many of my children’s book characters to life.
Being able to now share that with my grandchildren and with children around the world has been an unbelievably special gift. Every time I pick up one of my children’s books, I can feel all of that precious time spent together. #childrensauthors #imagination #childrensbooks
I remember christening the Maiden September 20th of 1988 as a very special moment — this was my first public engagement since giving birth to my daughter, Beatrice, and I’d become godmother to an exceptional vessel which today is championed by a captain and crew of extraordinary women. On Thursday 15th of February 2024, Maiden completed the third leg of the Ocean Globe Race arriving into Uruguay and coming in 2nd place by 16 minutes! The journey was 6,500 miles (33 days at sea). Huge congratulations to Tracy Edwards and the steadfast crew. Your strength and determination is an inspiration. I am wishing you a safe and successful journey home to Southampton and hope to be there to welcome you. @maidenfactor

Today on #ChildhoodCancerDay, I want to thank @teenage_cancer for the important work they are doing to support young people with cancer and ensure that a cancer diagnosis and treatment doesn’t stop them from living their lives or keeping up with their peers in receiving an education.
