The Prince and Princess of Wales kicked off the month of May teasing a new project. Prince William and Catherine’s social media accounts shared a 16-second video on May 1 featuring different scenes of nature and ending with the words “Mother Nature.”
“Happy May Day 🌸,” the post was simply captioned, adding, “Coming soon… 🎥.”
“Such a calming video,” one Instagram user commented on the post. Another wrote, “Oh my I’m so curious!! I can’t wait to find out what this is about 👀❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
The Princess of Wales honored Mother Nature earlier this year in a post to celebrate Mother’s Day in the UK. Alongside a video, also featuring shots of nature, Catherine penned, “Over the past year, nature has been our sanctuary. This Mother’s Day, let us celebrate Mother Nature and recognise how our bond with the natural world can help not only nurture our inner selves, but remind us too of the role we play within the rich tapestry of life. C.”
Last month, the royal mom of three opened up about nature being meaningful to her in a special film with Chief Scout Dwayne Fields. “I find it a very spiritual and very intense emotional reconnection I suppose, these environments,” Catherine shared. “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.”
The Princess has also spoken about knowing firsthand the power of nature to support wellbeing. In a message commemorating the opening of new gardens at London’s Natural History Museum last year, Catherine, who was undergoing chemotherapy at the time, said (via screenshots captured by Fox News): “I know the power of nature to support our development and wellbeing, both by bringing us joy and helping to keep us physically, mentally and spiritually healthy.”
When Her Royal Highness announced in September that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment, she did so with a video that was primarily filmed outdoors in Norfolk. At the time, it was understood that the Princess of Wales had drawn strength from her family, loved ones and from spending time on things that bring her joy—those elements along with the sanctuary she found in the natural world were all represented strongly in the video.
