Kate Middleton has once again stepped into the spotlight following her recent appearance at Wimbledon, which came amid her ongoing cancer treatment. On July 18, she took to Instagram to share about her continuous work with London’s Natural History Museum. This move is seen by many as a potential hint at Middleton’s gradual return to her royal duties.
In light of a new garden project unveiled at the Natural History Museum, Middleton posted on her Instagram Story, featuring photos from her last visit to the museum in 2021. “I am hugely supportive of the Museum’s commitment to create a special space which encourages people of all ages to reconnect with nature and learn more about how we can protect our natural world,” she wrote.
Middleton further elaborated in another post, “I know the power of nature to support our development and well-being, both by bringing us joy and helping to keep us physically, mentally and spiritually healthy. I hope these gardens will be inspiring and transformative for the thousands of people who visit.”
Middleton has been a long-time advocate for the healing power of nature, contributing to the design and creation of gardens for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival in 2019. At that time, she shared, “Spending time in nature can play a pivotal role in helping children grow up to become happy, healthy adults. The great outdoors provides an open playground for children to have fun and learn lifelong skills—from balance and coordination to empathy and creativity—with their friends, their parents, their carers, or their family members. I hope the Backyard Nature campaign inspires children, families, and communities to get outside and engage with nature, wherever they live.”
Since her cancer diagnosis, Middleton has taken a break from her royal responsibilities, marking only two public appearances this year – one at Trooping the Colour and another at Wimbledon. The Princess of Wales is likely to enjoy a quiet summer as she and her husband Prince William spend time at their country home, Anmer Hall, with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The family is also anticipated to make a late-summer visit to Balmoral Castle with King Charles, who is also undergoing cancer treatment. According to PEOPLE, “She won’t have to be on center stage,” a palace insider stated about Middleton’s summer plans. “Being with her family and just being herself will give her energy. There will be plenty of time to focus on her recovery.”
Middleton’s engagement with the Natural History Museum and her advocacy for the benefits of nature come at a time when she is focusing on her own well-being and recovery. As she continues to support important causes from behind the scenes, her presence remains a significant force, both within the royal family and in the public eye.
