Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a brief message on their Instagram stories Thursday after their visit to the London Natural History Museum, marking a rare joint public appearance for the couple.
“Generated to see how the museum’s national natural education program helps young people inquire about natural speech,” wrote the couple, accompanying a collage of photos of their interactions with students, volunteers and scientists.
The social media post offered overviews of Thursday’s visit, which represents one of the rare times that the royal couple appeared publicly since Catherine received a cancer diagnosis last year.
During her speech at the museum, Catherine underlined “the transformational power of nature”, stressing how contact with green spaces benefits physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
The couple made a tour in the Evolution Garden and Nature Discovery garden, committing to students, volunteers and scientists involved in the museum’s educational programs.
Royal Watchers described Catherine’s return to public tasks such as “a strong resilience signal, new energy and continuous commitment” following its prolonged absence of official commitments.
