On her 44th birthday, Kate Middleton paid tribute to Mother Nature.

In a tranquil Instagram video shared on Friday, the Princess of Wales was seen walking through a natural setting, with her voiceover reflecting on navigating the “coldest, darkest season.”

Addressing her audience, the royal remarked, “Winter invites us to embrace stillness, patience, and quiet reflection. It slows the stream just enough for us to gaze upon our own reflections, to uncover the deepest parts of ourselves alongside the whispers and heartbeat of all living things.”

Middleton shared that she has been spending time “reflecting on how profoundly grateful” she feels.

Discussing her gratitude, Middleton elaborated, “The rivers within us begin to flow effortlessly, washing away fears and offering cleansing and purification. We make peace with our tears and find out what it truly means to be alive, to be in harmony with nature.”

“[Nature is] a quiet teacher and a soft voice that guides in memory, helping us to heal,” she concluded.

In the caption, Middleton called her quarterly video series on Mother Nature this year a “deeply personal, creative reflection on how nature has helped [her] heal.”

Middleton, who is in remission after battling cancer, added, “But it is also a story about the power of nature and creativity in collective healing. There is so much we can learn from mother nature, as we look to build a happier, healthier world.”

She, notably, made headlines for her cancer diagnosis in March 2024.

She stepped back from the public eye to undergo treatment, revealing six months later that she had completed chemotherapy.

Middleton, who has since returned to her royal duties, confirmed in January 2025 that she is in remission.

Her husband, Prince William, gave rare insight into Middleton’s health struggles on Eugene Levy’s “The Reluctant Traveler” after their “hardest year” as a family.

The Prince of Wales, who shares Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with his wife, said, “Things are good. Everything is progressing in the right way, which is all good news.”

William, 43, admitted in October 2025 that while he tried to maintain a “positive outlook” during the scare, his mind went to some “pretty not great places.”

He continued, “Life is sent to test us as well and being able to overcome that is what makes us who we are.”
