Catherine undertook the event to raise money for the Royal Marsden, the hospital where she was treated for cancer in 2024.
The challenge involves summiting the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales over a day. She climbed Scafell Pike in England, Ben Nevis in Scotland, and Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) in Wales.
After completing the challenge in Wales, she was met by family members, including the Prince of Wales, her three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and her brother James.

A week later, the Prince and Princess of Wales have posted photos capturing the moment she accomplished the challenge.
In the photos, Kate can be seen giving William a huge hug, while another picture shows her holding hands with Prince Louis.
She is also seen embracing Princess Charlotte, who has wrapped her arms around her mum.
The final picture shows the whole family together, including Kate’s parents, as they pose for the camera.
In an Instagram post, she said: "This time last week, completing the National Three Peaks Challenge."
"A huge thank you to everybody who supported The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity".
The challenge covers 23 miles (37km) and 3,064 metres (10,052ft) of ascent, and she completed the challenge within the allotted 24 hours. Kate carried out the challenge solo, supported en route by Mountain Rescue.
In a moving statement posted on X last week, Kate revealed she took up the challenge "not simply as a physical endeavour" but to "give something back" and raise awareness of serious illness.
Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer early in 2024. She announced she was in remission in January 2025 and has been gradually returning to royal duties and international travel.
Pictured on the summit of Ben Nevis on Saturday evening, dressed in a cagoule, with a cap on and her hood up, and trekking poles on her back, she wrote:
"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".
"The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life-changing for so many people".
"Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare."
