Catherine, Princess of Wales has issued a new heart-warming message.
The princess encouraged people to ‘cherish the bonds of love and friendship’ in a message celebrating the summer period.
Kate Middleton made the comments as part of Kensington Palace’s quarterly Mother Nature video series, which was posted on Instagram.
Princess Kate launched the series in spring to celebrate the changing seasons across Britain.

In a personally signed caption, Kate wrote: “Our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds of love and friendship.
“It has never been more important to appreciate the value of one another, and of Mother Nature.
“Here’s to Summer. C”
A group of ballet dancers from The Royal Ballet School feature in a section of the video which was filmed in Richmond Park.
They performed in a carol service held at Westminster Abbey and hosted by Kate last year.
In the voiceover to the video clip, Kate says: “Summer is a season for abundance. Just as the flowers bloom and the fruits ripen, we too are reminded of our own potential for growth.
“It is the time to ignite our inner fire and explore our own creativity, passions and dreams.
“As we bask in the sunlit hours, friends and families come together; playing, connecting, being present.
“Embracing the joy to be found in even the most fleeting of moments and shared experiences.
“Our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds of love and friendship.
“So open your hearts; sing, dance, play.
“The days are still long, so simply love, and be loved.”
Locations featured in the clip include Sheffield, Bradford, North Wales and Anglesey and the south coast.
