ITV Royal Editor Chris Ship looks at the latest episode of Kate’s seasonal series, released to coincide with her 44th birthday
The Princess of Wales has said she is “deeply grateful”, saying nature has helped her “heal”, as she celebrates her 44th birthday.
In the final instalment of Kensington Palace’s quarterly Mother Nature series, Kate said the cold winter months have a way of bringing “stillness, patience and quiet consideration.”
The princess launched the series in spring as a celebration of the changing seasons across the UK.
Her latest video comes on her 44th birthday, just days after the anniversary of her announcement that she was in remission from cancer.
In a video posted on social media, Kate said: “Even in the coldest, darkest season, winter has a way of bringing us stillness, patience, and quiet consideration.
“Where the stream slows just enough for us to see our own reflection. To discover the deepest parts of ourselves. Alongside the whispers in the pulse of every living thing.
“I find myself reflecting on how deeply grateful I am.
“For the rivers within us flow with ease, fears washed away, cleanse and purify. Come to peace with our tears and discover what it means to be alive.
“To be at one with nature; a quiet teacher and a soft voice that guides.
“In memory. Helping us to heal.”
The video was accompanied by a personal post signed with a C, which read: “The Mother Nature series has always been a deeply personal, creative reflection on how nature has helped me heal. But it is also a story about the power of nature and creativity in collective healing.
“There is so much we can learn from other nature, as we look to build a happier, healthier world. C”
