The Princess of Wales has released a new statement praising the “power of nature” in supporting “wellbeing” as she continues her cancer treatment.
Kate, 42, shared her support for the Natural History Museum and the opening of its new gardens in a series of Instagram stories today.
The central London museum today opened a free-to-enter ‘outdoor gallery’ and ‘living laboratory’ to support nature’s recovery from climate change.
Five hectares of land surrounding the building in South Kensington have been transformed into two gardens: the Nature Discovery Garden and the Evolution Garden. These gardens tell the story of the changing nature.
The encouraging news comes after Kate, who withdrew from public royal duties due to her cancer treatment, made her second public appearance of the year on Sunday when she attended Wimbledon to watch the Grand Slam final from the Royal Box.

The Natural History Museum has opened a large green space, complete with a brand new, enormous bronze dinosaur, to support urban nature, scientific research and education.
“I am a huge supporter of the museum’s commitment to creating a special space that encourages people of all ages to reconnect with nature and learn more about how we can protect our natural world,” Kate wrote on Instagram today.
‘I know how powerful nature is in supporting our development and well-being. It brings us joy and keeps us healthy physically, mentally and spiritually.
‘I hope these gardens will be inspiring and transformative for the thousands of people who visit them.’
The message of support showed footage of Kate’s visit to the museum three years ago, during which she toured the Natural History Museum’s gardens and met local schoolchildren.
She also met with museum director Dr. Doug Gurr, who explained that the project would help people reconnect with nature and find the solutions urgently needed to protect the future of the planet.

Kate made her second public appearance of the year on Sunday. The future queen – jhammered by daughter Princess Charlottenine, and her sister Pippa Middleton – was greeted with a standing ovation as she walked into the Royal Box at Wimbledon.
But before the mother-daughter duo took their seats in the Royal Box, they met female tennis stars, including 21-year-old Emma Radacanu, who all presented Kate with a bouquet of flowers.
Charlotte grinned from ear to ear when she met the tennis star, who saw her Wimbledon dream shattered on Centre Court last week by New Zealand qualifier Lulu Sun.
The daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales was delighted to meet the tennis star and was photographed with a broad smile.
Mother and daughter were then introduced to the ‘Work at Wimbledon’ programme, which supports young people from different backgrounds in their role during the championships.
