Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, took to her IG handle yesterday to celebrate Mother's Day in UK. Paying tribute to Mother Nature, she wrote, "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.

The video, shared on the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales, showcased stunning footage of nature, featuring vibrant blooming flowers, powerful crashing waves, majestic fog-covered mountains, and serene sunlit meadows. These calming visuals beautifully reflected Kate's deep appreciation for the natural world.
Cancer diagnosis and treatment
Last year, the Princess revealed that she has been diagonsed with cancer, and in September she was done with Chemotherapy. She said, "The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown. ” She further said that the road to recovery is long, but she will get there. "As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal,” she said in a statement. “I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.”
Family conflict
Coming to the Royal family, it has been in the throes of a deep family conflict, which started brewing soon after Prince Harry tied the knot with Meghan Markle in 2018. As Harry and Markle settled into holy matrimony, and within a few years, welcomed two children, he and the family grew surprisingly distant, and the couple decided to move to California in 2020, and their daughter Lilibet was born there next year.
Stepping down as royals
Reports suggest that William initially expressed concerns to Harry about his relationship with Meghan Markle, which led to early tensions. As for Harry, he reportedly felt that William wasn't doing enough to support Meghan's integration into the royal family, which made things worse, culminating in Harry and Meghan stepping down as senior royals. The newly married couple, in a joint post wrote, “We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.”
