Catherine, Princess of Wales, is opening up about her recovery from cancer in a rare interview for an issue of the British magazine Country Life, guest-edited by her husband, Prince William.

Princess Kate shocked the world in January 2024 when she released a video squashing weeks of fevered speculation about the state of her health and her marriage to William, and revealed she was battling cancer. She said she was in remission in January 2025.

Middleton, 44, revealed to Country Life that she was told in the hospital that her “recovery would not be linear” and that “there will be good days and bad days, that it will take time.”

“This is the same in nature,” she said. “It shows us that periods of rest, reflection and renewal are equally as important as moments of growth.”

She was interviewed for the magazine, published on Wednesday, by Robert Macfarlane, a bestselling British nature writer. When he asked her where she finds hope, she said it was in the “lessons nature teaches.”

“In difficult moments especially, nature can help us reconnect with ourselves and with the things that matter most,” she said. “It reminds us that we’re part of something larger than our immediate worries and challenges.”

“Nature has allowed me to find a deeper connection to my mind, body, and spirit,” Princess Kate said. “I think that’s because nature offers something unique. It doesn’t ask anything of us. It doesn’t judge us or expect us to perform. It simply allows us to be. It really has been my sanctuary and a place I’ve instinctively wanted to go.”​

She added, “Having a sense of connection, trusted people around you and places where you feel at peace can be incredibly important during difficult times.”​

Middleton has previously spoken about the healing power of nature. In July 2024, she wrote, “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.”
