LONDON — On the evening of June 2, 2026, the Duchess of Cambridge (historically known as Kate Middleton) attended a landmark gala celebrating the 125th anniversary of Cancer Research UK. The high-profile event, which took place in the presence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, served as a poignant tribute to decades of scientific progress, while also spotlighting the deeply personal journeys of those affected by the disease—including the royal family itself.
Throughout the night, the Duchess, 44, engaged in a series of warm, unscripted interactions with attendees, including patron and singer Ronan Keating. During a memorable exchange, Keating expressed his hope to welcome Prince William to the event, to which Kate replied with a gentle, candid smile: “Me too.” The simple, tender phrase, though brief, resonated deeply with onlookers as a quiet testament to the couple’s enduring partnership and the shared burdens of recent years.
