The Princess of Wales has taken a break from her summer holidays to release a fresh video as part of her Mother Nature series, which centres on savouring precious moments, treasuring family, and delighting in the summer months. The Princess kicked off this series in Spring as a tribute to the shifting seasons throughout the UK, serving as both a reminder and contemplation of the wonder and intricacy of human life. Kate's latest summer instalment, which appeared on Instagram, stays grounded in the natural world whilst also showcasing heartfelt human connections and celebrating the happiness found in togetherness. The release of the Princess of Wales' fresh video coincides with Britain's summer peak, as large parts of England bask in scorching temperatures this week. Although neither Princess Kate nor Prince William appear on screen, the video features Kate's voice as she delivers an emotional narrative about making the most of summer alongside friends and loved ones, reports the Mirror. In the clip, she declares: "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.

So open your hearts; sing, dance, play. The days are still long, so simply love, and be loved." The social media clip was also endorsed by Princess Kate, with the caption stating: "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." The touching footage was captured by Will Warrs and the Kensington Palace communications team across recent months, featuring scenes from across Britain, including Sheffield, Bradford, North Wales and Anglesey and the southern coastline. The ballet dancers appearing in the film are from The Royal Ballet School, who previously performed at Princess Kate's annual Christmas Carol Service in 2024. The earlier instalment in the series captured the Spring period, showcasing previously unseen footage of her and Prince William marking their wedding anniversary on the Isle of Mull in April. Nature has been central to Kate's cancer recovery, with the princess now in remission after her diagnosis over a year ago. In the footage, William and Kate appear with their backs turned to the camera, arms wrapped around each other in an embrace, taking in the landscape.

Antiques Roadshow guest stunned at jaw-dropping value of 'patriotic potty' with Hitler's face
An Antiques Roadshow guest was left stunned at the price of "very rare" chamber pot with Hitler's face on it. An Antiques Roadshow guest was left stunned when she found out the jaw-dropping price tag of her late friend's Hitler themed chamber pot. The hit BBC antique series set up shop at The Royal Ballet School in Richmond to film another episode with the experts excited to get their hands on some unusual and quirky items. Among the experts was host Fiona Bruce who was presented with a comedy chamber pot that left her absolutely stunned. Admiring the strange item, she said: "Hitler's face at the bottom of a patriotic potty. How did you come by this fine, fine piece of China?" The guest replied: "It belonged to a very old friend of mine who died a couple of years ago and I had to clear out his house and I was given the pot by the executors because I requested it. And it sits in our bathroom at home." Clearly interested in the item, Fiona continued examining it, saying: "It's a marvellous thing isn't it? We've got a Swastika here [then the text] 'Have this on 'old nasty'. Clearly depositing on Hitler's face here." "'Another violation of Poland', so obviously [referencing] moving into Poland and it plays a tune as well, doesn't it?" The owner revealed she thought the pot played two pieces of music but soon realised the pot only played Rule Britannia, the BBC reports. Holding the item up, Fiona expressed: "So when you lift it up and have had a tinkle, followed by another tinkle " - as Rule Britannia started to play. 'Recognise that? Very patriotic. How brilliant,' she laughed. When it got to the crucial question, if the owner knew anything of the pots value, she said: "No, nothing at all. I do know that the gentleman who it belonged to, his father was a music hall entertainer in the 1930s." "But other than that -" Fiona stated, before the guest clarified: "Other than that, it was just in the house and I loved it." Fiona then had some excellent information to give the guest about her comedy chamber pot, saying: "Now the thing about this, it's clearly quite a comedy item and you could just think it's another fancy that." "But actually, I've spoken to our experts about it, and it's very rare." The guest looked shocked as she said: "Really?" Fiona replied: 'It's very rare, because of its date, the Second World War, this particular period, when Hitler's soldiers rode into Poland. And it has quite a significant value.' The antique expert then shared that it was worth £300, but the guest wasn't impressed with the sum saying: "And it'll still sit in our bathroom." Fiona then paused before revealing its real value: "It's actually £3,000.' Clearly shocked by the price, the guest's shouted: 'Oh it's not! No it isn't, is it?" "Wow. Well it'll still sit in our bathroom! But I will tell my daughter who will inherit everything that she's got to keep it rather than throw it in the tip," she joked. 'And not to use it!' Fiona reminded her with a laugh. 'No, no my husband doesn't use it, I promise he doesn't do that," the guest replied reassuring Fiona.
