Wales<\/span><\/a> has said she is &#8220;deeply grateful&#8221;, saying nature has helped her &#8220;heal&#8221;, as she celebrates her 44th birthday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">In the final instalment of Kensington Palace&#8217;s quarterly Mother Nature series, Kate said the cold winter months have a way of bringing &#8220;stillness, patience and quiet consideration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">The princess launched the series in spring as a celebration of the changing seasons across the UK. <\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">Her latest video comes on her 44th birthday, just days after the anniversary of her announcement that she was in remission from cancer. <\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">In a video posted on social media, <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"qNUzV q7LZa\" data-testid=\"next-link-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.itv.com\/news\/2025-12-24\/kate-and-princess-charlotte-play-piano-duet-to-open-christmas-carol-concert\"><span class=\"n6NlI\">Kate <\/span><\/a>said: &#8220;Even in the coldest, darkest season, winter has a way of bringing us stillness, patience, and quiet consideration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">&#8220;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. <\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">&#8220;I find myself reflecting on how deeply grateful I am. <\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">\u201cFor 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">\u201cTo be at one with nature; a quiet teacher and a soft voice that guides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">\u201cIn memory. Helping us to heal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">The video was accompanied by a personal post signed with a C, which read: &#8220;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. <\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">&#8220;There is so much we can learn from other nature, as we look to build a happier, healthier world.
