Princess Kate Drops New Video With An Important Message After Her Move To 'Forever Home'
Princess Kate has kept a steady pace through a demanding few weeks. With the King and Queen hosting a reception at Windsor Castle for army veterans marking the 80th VJ Day, she stepped forward to represent the family at an Armistice Day service. The event, reserved for blood royals in the line of succession, placed her in a central role. As her public roles continue, another familiar project of the Princess of Wales is back in the spotlight. Kensington Palace has released the autumn chapter of her ‘Mother Nature’ film series. Moreover, with the Wales family recently settling into their ‘forever home,’ the latest installment feels especially well-timed.
The episode was filmed by Will Warr and shared with a message signed with the initial ‘C.’ It read, "MOTHER NATURE: AUTUMN. Autumn - a season of reflection, growth and deeper connection. Embrace the beauty found in change, as we prepare for winter's rest." In the film, the Princess narrated gentle observations about the rhythm of the season. She said, "As the days grow shorter and the shadows grow longer, the energy of summer withdraws into Autumn.” Her words perfectly matched the calm tone of the natural setting and set the mood for the scenes that followed. In the clip, she also joined chef Gill Mellor and children from Farley Junior Academy in Luton, supported by the charity Go Beyond, for outdoor cooking in Windsor Great Park.
Princess Kate continued, "Trees shed their canopies in preparation for winter, just as we too learn to let go of what is no longer needed." The video also included scenes from Long Meadow Cider and Mallon Farm in Northern Ireland, which Kate and Prince William visited in October. "With the turning of the seasons, Mother Nature teaches us there is beauty to be found in change, impermanence and in letting go," she said. Her message carried a quiet appeal to notice the world more fully.
Her affection for Windsor, shared by her family, has become evident since they moved to Adelaide Cottage in 2022, and their recent shift to Forest Lodge marks a more permanent step. HELLO! noted that her kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are settled at Lambrook School and remain close to Windsor Castle for official duties. Their new home itself has a layered past and was originally known as Holly Grove. The residence underwent a significant renovation in 2001 that preserved many period details, including carved stonework, plaster cornices, and Venetian windows. Reports also suggest that the Prince of Wales has privately funded the modest recent updates.
Her ‘Mother Nature’ video comes as the Palace confirmed another seasonal tradition. The Princess will host the fifth ‘Together at Christmas’ carol service at Westminster Abbey on December 5. This year’s theme is ‘Love in all its forms,’ with special performances and readings by Hannah Waddingham, Dan Smith, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, while Kate Winslet stands out as the most prominent guest on the list. The service will also honor the late Duchess of Kent through music performances by young artists from Future Talent. About 1,600 guests are expected to attend the event, carefully selected for their acts of compassion and community spirit.
