In a heartfelt new video, Kate Middleton opened up about her journey to finding “peace” after her recent cancer battle.
The Princess of Wales, 43, shared her reflections on reconnecting with nature during her visit to the stunning Lake District.

During a visit to the Lake District, Kate Middleton described nature as 'a very spiritual and very intense emotional reconnection.'
"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," she shared.
She energetically greeted a group of young explorers, exclaiming, "Hello, everyone! How are you all doing? Good?” This rare glimpse of the dedicated mom-of-three comes after she announced her remission from cancer in January.

The Princess of Wales reflected on her renewed appreciation for the outdoors.
Kate's shocking health journey began just two months after she underwent planned abdominal surgery in January 2024, announcing her diagnosis in March.
"The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery. Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter," the statement read at the time.
The message continued, "The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private. Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness' progress when there is significant new information to share."
The royal underwent chemotherapy as part of her treatment, and now she’s pouring herself into quality family time with her children — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and 6-year-old Prince Louis — while also getting back to her public appearances.

Kate Middleton and Prince William went on a getaway post-treatment.
The source added: “It was so rejuvenating that William and Kate have vowed to do a getaway every month this year. Some trips will be for a few days or a couple of weeks, and other times probably a night or two will be all they can manage but the important thing is that they carve out time.”
