Princess Kate donated her hair to cancer charity

London – The cancer of Princess Kate, who is only 42 years old, is causing a stir around the world.

Against this background, a gesture from the wife of Crown Prince William (41) from 2018 takes on an even deeper meaning. At that time, she anonymously donated part of her hair to help children and young people with cancer and was still unaware that she would soon share their fate.
