ROYAL UPDATE: Kate Middleton Talks About Finding ‘Peace’ Amid Stress After Cancer Battle

Princess Kate is finding “peace” in nature after her battle with cancer. “I find it a very spiritual and very intense emotional reconnection, I suppose, these environments,” Kate, 43, said in a video released by Kensington Palace on Monday, April 14. “Not everyone has that same relationship perhaps with nature, but it is so therefore meaningful for me as a place to balance and find a sort of sense of peace and reconnection in what is otherwise a very busy world.” In the clip, Kate – the joint president of the Scouts youth organization in the U.K. – was shown walking through the woods in England’s Lake District, and speaking with a group of kids involved in Scouts. The princess raised awareness of the positive impact of nature on young people, especially when it comes to building confidence, life skills and a healthy sense of perspective.
