Princess Catherine praised the healing “power of nature” as she continued her treatment for cancer.

In a rare public statement, Princess Catherine posted a new Instagram story encouraging people to “reconnect with nature” and “protect the natural world”.

It comes after she made a public appearance at Wimbledon amid her ongoing battle with the still-unknown ailment.

“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,” she said.

The Princess, 42, revealed the impact nature has made on her health in a series of posts supporting the opening of gardens at London’s Natural History Museum.

The museum opened a free “living laboratory” to support the environment in the face of climate change.

Princess Catherine has only made two public appearances since she announced her diagnosis, and has kept silent on the exact nature of the cancer.

“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,” she wrote, to images of a previous visit to the museum.

“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.

“I hope these gardens will be inspiring and transformative for the thousands of people who visit.”

Princess Catherine stunned fans when she arrived at the Royal Box at Wimbledon with daughter Princess Charlotte, 9, and sister Pippa Middleton.

Royal watchers were thrilled to see Kate smiling and with colour in her cheeks for the second time in as many months following her appearance at Trooping the Colour in June.

However, the palace has made clear that while Kate will attend events when she feels well, she has not officially returned to work.
