About this listen

 Right then, darlings, let me tell you all about Catherine, the Princess of Wales, and her absolutely fabulous comeback story that's got everyone talking.

So picture this: after spending most of 2024 dealing with cancer treatment, Catherine has absolutely bounced back and she's got a brand new focus that's absolutely brilliant. The woman discovered that creativity quite literally saved her life, and now she's making it her mission to share that healing power with everyone else. Genius, really.

In 2025, Catherine slowly eased herself back into royal duties, completing a remarkable 68 engagements compared to just 13 the year before. Not too shabby for someone recovering from cancer, wouldn't you say? But here's where it gets really interesting. Rather than diving headfirst back into the old grueling schedule, Catherine's learned her lesson about pacing herself. She's opted for quality over quantity, which honestly is rather refreshing coming from a royal.

Just recently, Catherine had quite the moment at Charing Cross Hospital in London where she and Prince William met with patients and opened up about their own experiences in hospital waiting rooms. But the really pivotal moment came when she celebrated her 44th birthday and released a video speaking about nature's healing powers. She quoted something rather poetic about rivers flowing within us and discovering what it means to be alive. Absolutely stunning messaging, that.

Now here's the juicy bit: the palace has revealed that Catherine intends to lean heavily into the creative world for her royal work going forward. She's planning to collaborate with organizations in the arts, healthcare, music, and mental health programs. And honestly, it makes perfect sense because the woman's already quite accomplished in the creative department. She's performed piano with her daughter Princess Charlotte, she's into photography, drawing, and painting, and she's even held contests to showcase extraordinary photography from the British public.

According to a royal source, Catherine absolutely believes that her recovery was aided by immersing herself in nature, being creative, and surrounding herself with loved ones. The healing power of creativity has truly resonated throughout her work, and she's determined to explore it further.

Meanwhile, her husband Prince William and her three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, remain her absolute priority. She's made it crystal clear that family time and her health come first, and everything else is built around that. The days of just powering through without rest are completely done.

So there you have it, darlings. Catherine's 2026 is shaping up to be all about harnessing creativity and nature for human connection and wellbeing. And if you ask me, that's rather inspiring indeed.
