Kate Middleton revealed how she finds “peace” in nature following her cancer battle.
“I find it a very spiritual and very intense emotional reconnection, I suppose, these environments,” she said in video released by Kensington Palace Monday.
“Not everyone has that same relationship perhaps with nature, but it is so therefore meaningful for me as a place to balance and find a sort of sense of peace and reconnection in what is otherwise a very busy world.”
The Princess of Wales, 43, shared the benefits of spending time outdoors as she visited the Lake District in the UK with a group of young Scouts and Chief Scout Dwayne Fields.
Middleton, who is the joint president of the Scouts Association, was also seen greeting the young explorers and pointing out landmarks to them on a map.
“What’s so fantastic about Scouts is, it’s the same foundations that have always been there, and despite how different the modern-day world is now, actually it still resonates with so many young people, and it’s making such a massive difference to them,” she said of the organization.
The video marked a rare appearance for Middleton, who completed cancer treatment in September 2024 and announced in January that she was in remission.
“It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery,” she posted via Instagram while sharing photos from a surprise visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital.
“As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead.”
Middleton’s cancer was discovered after she underwent a planned abdominal surgery in January 2024. She announced her diagnosis that March in an emotional video.
“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” she said at the time.
She admitted the news “came as a huge shock.”
Middleton went on to say that she and Prince William were “doing everything [they could] to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”
Last month, she celebrated Mother’s Day in the UK by also praising the virtues of the outdoors.
“Over the past year, nature has been our sanctuary,” she captioned a video, which showed her barefoot navigating a sunny field.
“This Mother’s Day, let us celebrate Mother Nature and recognize how our bond with the natural world can help not only nurture our inner selves, but remind us too of the role we play within the rich tapestry of life.”
More recently, Middleton was spotted enjoying time on the slopes with her husband and their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, in the French Alps.
