Royal fans were delighted to get a fresh glimpse into Princess Kate's world on August 13, when the beloved future queen shared a sunny new Instagram update hinting at her family's recent adventures. "Summer is the season for abundance. Just as the flowers bloom and the fruits ripen, we too are reminded of our own potential for growth," she says in the narration for the video, which features idyllic shots of people hiking, gardening, swimming and simply enjoying nature with others. "Our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds of love and friendship, so open your hearts, sing, dance, play," she continues. "The days are still long, so simply love and be loved." In a caption, she told her followers, "It has never been more important to appreciate the value of one another, and of Mother Nature. Here's to Summer." The heartfelt voiceover, paired with her personal message, simply signed "C," seemed to nod to relaxed days spent making memories with her husband, Prince William, and their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. It was a subtle reminder that Kate is reentering the royal spotlight at her own pace, with family time and her health taking precedence. Kate's post came just weeks after her joyful appearance at Wimbledon. On July 12, the princess, 43, attended the ladies' singles final and was visibly humbled by a standing ovation as she took her seat in the Royal Box. The following afternoon, she returned with William, also 43, George and Charlotte, to watch the men's finals together - a deliberate choice, says a source, "to blend her royal duties with family time." The warm, relaxed images from Centre Court echoed the tone of her Instagram message and reflected a royal calendar shaped around togetherness. Prioritizing family-friendly moments is something Kate plans to do more of as she continues to navigate her new normal, which now includes a move out of Adelaide Cottage and into Forest Lodge, their forever home. In January, the mom of three revealed that her cancer is in remission. This summer has given her the chance to reset and recalibrate - now, she's figuring out how to balance tending to her royal role with motherhood and taking care of herself. "Kate's outlook has changed, and her priorities have shifted," says a source. "[She's] emphasizing her family and her well-being over [intense] duties." It's a decision that Kate and William made together. They've established limits on what they will and will not do to protect their mental health and home life, says a second source. "While they take their responsibilities very seriously, they are not afraid to say no when necessary." Slow and Steady Samir Hussein/WireImage It's become clear that Kate is pacing herself. Since kicking off the summer season with a June 14 appearance at Trooping the Colour, she's joined William for a handful of subsequent events, including the Order of the Garter service on June 16 and French president Emmanuel Macron's state visit on July 8, but opted out of a few others. (She skipped the Royal Ascot on June 11 despite appearing on a list of attendees, as well as a July charity polo match.) "Kate knows visibility is crucial for maintaining the monarchy's profile, but she doesn't need to be at everything," says the source. "She's [being more] intentional." During a stop at Colchester Hospital on July 2, Kate spoke about the challenges she's been facing since completing her cancer treatment. "Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult," she confessed. The source says chemotherapy took "an emotional and physical toll" on Kate, and the effects have lingered. "Fatigue has been a big one, and she continues to deal with it in her recovery journey." She realizes her health is key and defers to her medical team. "Kate listens to her advisers, but ultimately it's up to her doctors. They guide her decisions," says the source, noting that it's essential for her to keep her stress levels down. Adds royal expert Marlene Koenig: "The Princess of Wales knows finding the right balance is the norm for a recovering patient. She may be in remission, but it takes time to return to what life was like before."

Kate has historically focused on early childhood when it comes to her patronages - an area she's called her "life's work" - and Fitzwilliams says she'll surely make cancer causes a future priority. In January, she made an emotional return to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where she had received chemotherapy. ("As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal," she wrote in an Instagram post alongside photos of her visiting with patients and staff members.)
