Princess Kate Middleton had a candid reaction to a young child asking the royal just who she is, exactly.
Kate, 44, was seen spending the day with patients at Evelina London Children’s Hospital on Monday, July 6, where she interacted with a 10-year-old boy named Ejran.
When Ejran lovingly asked Kate if she was the queen’s daughter, the princess quickly responded with a smile before giving a somewhat cheeky response. (It was unclear if the young boy was referring to Queen Camilla or the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died in 2022.)
“No, I am the Princess of Wales,” Kate replied, sharing that she was visiting because she had seen the “amazing work” occurring at the hospital.

Kate, the patron of Evelina London since 2018, shared that she was happy to meet “special children, very brave children like yourself.”
“The Princess of Wales met ten-year-old Ejran, a cardiac patient who asked her if she was the Queen today and you have to see her reaction 🙌,” a Hello magazine caption read via Instagram. “The Princess of Wales visited the Evelina London Children’s Hospital today to meet patients and parents. Whilst there, she heard about plans to bring together the best possible family-centred support.”
In 2024, Kate shared that she had been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer and subsequently underwent a preventative round of chemotherapy treatment. Kate shared the following year that she was in remission. In June, Kate shared a candid message about the effects of cancer that go far beyond the physical.
“Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no one wants to hear,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “What follows is a path that tests every part of who we are: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The challenges ripple outwards, touching families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend alone with our thoughts.”

She continued, “Cancer doesn’t just affect the body. It changes how you think and feel and profoundly affects every aspect of life. I know this personally, and that the journey through and beyond treatment requires more than medicine alone.”
Kate shared that she has participated in the Royal Marsden hospital’s National Three Peaks Challenge across peaks in Scotland, England and Wales.
“I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back,” Kate wrote. “The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.”
She continued, “Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare. Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis. Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.”
Kate noted that there’s an “opportunity to reshape what the future of holistic cancer care looks like, enabling more people, nationwide, to access the kind of personalised support that can help make a meaningful difference during and after medical treatment.”
“This challenge will support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping to transform access to, and understanding of, holistic care that will enhance recovery and healing for patients across the UK,” she wrote.
She continued, “Healing, whether personal or collective, is not just about fixing what is wrong. It is about finding balance in how we live. Between effort and acceptance, between control and trust, between thinking and simply being. Because in the end, bravery isn’t just about pushing forward. It is about knowing how to stay grounded, connected and present, no matter the terrain or landscape you are walking.”
