Catherine, 43, was dressed casually yet warmly for her visit to the shores of Lake Windermere in the Lake District in a video that was reportedly filmed in March.

She donned a baker boy cap for the visit, her long hair worn out in loose curls.

The royal catted with Chief Scout, Dwayne Field, before joining a group of budding Scouts who are learning the ropes.

“I find it a very spiritual and very intense emotional reconnection I suppose, these environments,” she told Field in the video.

“Not everyone has that same relationship perhaps with nature, but it is so therefore meaningful for me as a place to balance and find a sort of sense of peace and reconnection in what is otherwise a very busy world.”

The royal spoke of how people “belong in nature”.

“We’re in tune with it and I think we need to come back to it because there is definitely something about being in nature that’s connected to our wellbeing,” she said.

Later in the video, Catherine joined a group of Scouts as they examined a map.

“It’s so beautiful because so many of the walks here, you can see Lake Windermere because it’s huge isn’t it?” she said.

“Look how hilly it is in here. Have you done any of these big mountains?”

In the video, Catherine was joined by husband Prince William and their three children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.

The family was filmed outdoors in the English countryside and at a beach as the royal spoke of “entering a new phase of recovery” after being diagnosed with cancer in early 2024.

The Prince and Princess of Wales previously joined in on activities with a Cub Scout group in 2023 as part of the Big Help Out charity event.

The royal couple and their children visited the 3rd Upton Scouts Hut in Slough as part of the push to encourage people to volunteer in their communities.
