Princess Kate has showcased the Lake District as part of her “healing journey” in the final part of her Mother Nature series.
The Princess of Wales has been releasing a video documentary series following the four seasons and explores nature’s remarkable ability to inspire, heal, and nurture growth across mind, body, and spirit.
Throughout the Mother Nature project, the Princess has sought to capture both the beauty and intricacy of human experience, drawing parallels with lessons found in the natural environment.
The Lake District played a prominent role in the Winter instalment of the series, with locations within Cumbria featured in the YouTube video.

The post was accompanied by a message from the Princess of Wales, saying: “The Mother Nature series has been a deeply personal, creative reflection on how nature has helped me heal.
“But it is also a story about the power of nature and creativity in collective healing. There is so much we can learn from Mother Nature, as we look to build a happier, healthier world. C.”
The countryside has featured in all four of the seasonal videos, as featured in the footage are said to include Berkshire, Gloucestershire, London, East Sussex, and the Cotswolds.
In the voiceover accompanying the Winter episode, Her Royal Highness offers deeply personal reflections on her own path to recovery over the past two years.
"Even in the coldest, darkest season, winter has a way of bringing us stillness, patience and quiet consideration," she said.
"Where the stream slows just enough for us to see our own reflection. To discover the deepest parts of ourselves."
The princess speaks of profound gratitude, describing how 'the rivers within us flow with ease, fears washed away, cleanse and purify'
