Großbritannien ist nicht unbedingt für seine Gebirge bekannt. Doch bei der »Three Peaks Challenge« geht es durchaus bergauf. Nun hat Prinzessin Kate die drei Gipfel in 24 Stunden erklommen – mit einer eindringlichen Botschaft.

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, took on the Three Peaks challenge, which saw her climb Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike in 24 hours - and it was for a great cause

Catherine, 44, started the endurance event on Saturday night and finished it 24 hours later cheered on by her family including her husband and three children.

The princess tackled the challenge solo with support from Mountain Rescue teams along the route
