The Princess of Wales has issued a new statement hailing the ‘power of nature’ in supporting ‘wellbeing’ as she continues her cancer treatment.
Kate, 42, shared in a series of Instagram stories how she was ‘hugely supportive’ of the Natural History Museum and the opening of its new gardens.
The Central London Museum opened a free-to-visit ‘outdoor gallery’ as well as a ‘living laboratory’ to support nature’s recovery in the face of climate change.
Two gardens that depict the tale of the evolving natural world—the Evolution Garden and the Nature Discovery Garden—have been created out of the five acres around the building in South Kensington.
The heartwarming tweet was posted in response to Kate’s Sunday public appearance at Wimbledon when she watched the Grand Slam final from the Royal Box. Kate has stepped back from her public royal duties while receiving cancer treatment.
The Natural History Museum has launched a sizable green area to promote urban nature, science teaching, and research, replete with a massive, brand-new bronze dinosaur.
‘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,’ Kate wrote on Instagram today.
‘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.’
The supportive post featured footage of Kate’s visit to the museum three years ago, during which she took a tour of the Natural History Museum’s wildlife gardens and met local schoolchildren.
She also had a meeting with Dr. Doug Gurr, the director of the museum, who gave her an explanation of the project’s goal of reestablishing human connection with nature and locating the critical answers required to safeguard the planet’s future.
Kate appeared in public for the second time this year on Sunday. The future Queen received a standing ovation when she entered the Royal Box at Wimbledon, accompanied by her sister Pippa Middleton and her nine-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte.
But before the mother-daughter duo took their seats in the Royal Box, they met with female tennis stars, including 21-year-old Emma Radacanu, who all presented Kate with a bouquet of flowers.
Upon meeting the tennis star, Charlotte broke into a big smile. Lulu Sun, a qualifier from New Zealand, had tragically dashed Charlotte’s dream of winning Wimbledon last week on Centre Court.
The power of nature is wonderful, but it doesn’t pay our mortgage, keep a roof over our heads, or anything else. Kate has the best doctors, but there is no deadline for her to go back to work. She regrettably has cancer, and while most people will hope for a full recovery with minimal long-term implications, everyday struggles are faced by regular people in the real world.
She will be extremely well looked after in every possible and immediate way and will be pampered and protected like no other. The same with the King, whilst most of us will be queuing the system and having to make do with what can be done.
I can also see that the Palace PR machine is in full swing again. It feeds the tabloids photos, statements, more photos, and more statements, and I’m sure that Kate isn’t going to solely rely on nature to fight her cancer though. She will be sticking with all the private doctors at her beck and call.
