Kate Middleton celebrates World Cancer Day with picture taken by Prince Louis

Kensington Palace shared a picture of the Princess of Wales taken by her son Prince Louis to mark World Cancer Day.

The images, which showed Kate stood on a tree trunk in a wintry woodland and a frost-covered fern, were shared alongside the message ‘don’t forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease’ and signed off with a C to show it was a message from the princess.

A second image taken by the princess herself was also issued.

A royal aide emphasised that spending time in nature has been extremely important to the Princess over the past year as she underwent her own cancer journey, which is reflected in both images.

Word Cancer Day falls on Tuesday and in a social media post showing her image, and another of some ferns taken by the princess, she writes: “Don’t forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease.”

Kate is continuing to make a gradual return to royal duties after completing her cancer treatment last summer.

She carried out three royal engagements last week, but the events are not thought to indicate the princess is fully back to work.
