Despite undergoing cancer treatment, the Princess of Wales remains dedicated to her role as patron of London's Natural History Museum. On July 18th, just days after her second public appearance of the year at Wimbledon, Princess Kate celebrated the opening of two new gardens at the museum, highlighting the importance of connecting with nature.

"I am a strong supporter of the Museum's commitment to creating a unique space that encourages people of all ages to reconnect with nature and learn about protecting our natural world," the 42-year-old Princess said in a statement shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales' official Instagram account.

 She emphasized the vital role nature plays in our well-being, adding, "I know the power of nature to support our development, bringing us joy and helping us stay physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy. I hope these gardens will inspire and transform the thousands of visitors who experience them."

This recent message echoes the Princess's longstanding advocacy for the benefits of nature, particularly for children. In 2019, she stated, "I truly believe that nature and being interactive outdoors has significant benefits for our physical and mental well-being."  A proponent of "forest bathing," the Japanese practice of immersing oneself in nature for rejuvenation, Princess Kate frequently emphasizes the positive impact of the outdoors.
