Princess of Wales champions nature-based healing after missing Royal Ascot
Princess Kate made a meaningful return to public life as she visited the RHS Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital, following her unexplained absence from Royal Ascot two weeks ago.
Her absence from the prestigious racing event sparked widespread speculation, with many questioning whether health concerns were to blame. However, palace insiders swiftly clarified that her withdrawal was due to a scheduling mix-up, not a medical issue, according to GB News.
During her latest engagement, the Princess of Wales shone a spotlight on the therapeutic benefits of nature, a cause she has long supported. Her visit focused on raising awareness of the mental, physical, and emotional advantages of spending time in outdoor spaces, particularly in healthcare environments.
Kate also toured the hospital’s Cancer Wellbeing Centre, where she met patients and staff to learn more about how garden spaces can aid recovery and support overall wellness.
The outing marks a steady step back into royal duties and underscores Catherine’s dedication to promoting wellbeing and mental health through nature-focused initiatives.
