  "textContent": "\n\n\nThe Princess of Wales disclosed that she has significantly reduced her alcohol intake following her cancer diagnosis during a visit to Fabal Beerhall in London on Thursday.\n\nKate, 44, underwent chemotherapy treatment in 2024 and confirmed she was in remission last year.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWhen offered the chance to sample beverages at the venue, which sits along the Bermondsey Beer Mile area known for its craft breweries and tap rooms, the Princess explained to owner Hannah Rhodes: \"Since my diagnosis I haven't had much alcohol.\"\n\nShe noted: \"It's something I have to be a lot more conscious of now.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nMs Rhodes responded by offering the Princess a soft drink as an alternative.\n\nKate then turned to her husband, giving his knee a playful pat as she remarked: \"But you like your cider, don't you?\"\n\nThe Prince of Wales proceeded to taste an array of beers and ciders during the visit.\n\nAmong the beverages William sampled were products from Ms Rhodes's own brand, Hiver, which produces drinks using honey sourced from beehives in place of sugar during the fermentation process.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nPrince William and Catherine explored the Bermondsey Beer Mile and celebrated the London trail that stretches approximately two miles and encompasses more than 20 independent breweries, taprooms and bottle shops.\n\nSouthwark has served as a brewing heartland for the capital since the 17th century.\n\nThe modern craft beer movement along the Beer Mile began in 2009 when The Kernel Brewery set up beneath railway arches close to London Bridge, triggering a wave of artisan brewing ventures in the neighbourhood.\n\nThe royal couple made Southwark Brewing Company their first stop on the Beer Mile.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nPeter Jackson established the brewery in 2014, making it among the original five craft producers to open along the route.\n\nThe business grew from humble beginnings as a homebrew kit in Jackson's garage into a fully operational brewery featuring a 10-barrel system and a handcrafted taproom.\n\nA dedicated team has since joined the operation, bringing their own expertise and character to the enterprise.\n\nSouthwark Brewing continues to prioritise quality production and dependable service, supplying both the pub trade and welcoming visitors to their Bermondsey taproom.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter**",
