One of the photographs is a family photo, including her parents, brother, and his dog.
“This time last week, completing the National Three Peaks Challenge,” the caption read.
“A huge thank you to everybody who has supported The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.”
She then shared the link to the charity and encouraged others to donate.
Kensington Palace said it believed the expedition was a royal first, with the princess being the first member of the royal family to complete the Three Peaks challenge.
A week ago, the Princess shared a photograph of herself summiting Ben Nevis accompanied by a lengthy caption explaining her reasoning for embarking on the difficult challenge.
“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,” she wrote.
“Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare.
“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.“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.”
James Middleton posted a photo of the two of them hugging on his Instagram, saying he was “so incredibly proud of my darling sister”.
“Two years ago, I told you we’d climb this mountain together,” he wrote in the caption.
“We talked about climbing mountains while you were in hospital, and about the incredible healing power that nature can have for both the body and the mind.
“So it was such an honour to join you for your Three Peaks Challenge for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
“Seeing how far you’ve come is nothing short of inspiring. Your strength, resilience, and determination, all while being the most amazing mother, wife, daughter, and sister, inspire me and so many others every single day.
“Keep being exactly who you are.”
With PA.
