Princess Kate reflected on her close "bond" with nature in a personal Mother's Day message, released one year on from cancer diagnosis.
The Prince and Princess of Wales both briefly appear in the video, which showcases several natural environments across the UK.
Princess Kate first announced she was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in March 2024 after undergoing major planned abdominal surgery.
The Princess of Wales stepped back from royal duties and continues to make a gradual return to work, prioritising her family and health.

Alongside the video, Princess Kate 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 Princess of Wales signed the message with her personal "C", meaning the message came directly from Catherine.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were not seen in the message to mark the major occasion.

Although Kate and William both appear in the video, their faces are not visible.
The video used shots from Kate's video in September, filmed by Will Warr in Norfolk, where the Wales family resides, where the princess revealed that she had completed preventative chemotherapy treatment and was looking forward to returning to work.
She told the public: "As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment."
"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."
