Kate's 'Harsh' Post-Cancer Routine Allegedly Making William Consider Her 'Insane'

Following her cancer treatment, Kate Middleton has been immersing herself in her favorite pastime: cold-water swimming. The Princess of Wales has long shared her passion for plunging into icy lakes and seas, regardless of weather or time of day, but Prince William initially found her extreme hobby surprising.

During a 2023 appearance on The Good, The Bad, and the Rugby podcast, Kate described her love for cold swimming, revealing that William once considered the activity insane. Over time, however, he has joined her in the practice and admitted that the experience is unexpectedly invigorating. You feel amazing afterwards, he said, adding with a laugh, I love it. I do a lot of yelling and screaming when I get in.

Now, in the wake of her cancer treatment, Kate is dedicating even more time to her routines. A source shared that William has come to understand that Kates regimen is more than a test of endurance. She truly believes that the cold plunge helps her body cope with both mental and physical challenges, and he wanted to support her in this, the insider explained.

William has also been seen participating in cold-water swimming with groups like the Colwyn Bay Blue Tits in Scotland. Onlookers noted that hes been experimenting with the activity during visits to the countryside and has been impressed by the refreshing effects. He still shouts his way into the water, but he said the results are remarkable, one witness recalled.

Experts note that cold plunges provide significant health benefits, including the release of endorphins for mood enhancement and noradrenaline to improve focus and alertness. Kate herself believes that these chilly dips help stabilize her nervous system.

The couples shared interest in cold swimming has also influenced their approach to family life. A source mentioned that Kate encouraged William to join not just for fitness, but to help build resilience during a challenging period for the family.

Despite her efforts to maintain normalcy, Kate continues to face emotional and physical fatigue following her cancer treatment. She is gradually readjusting to her royal responsibilities, though sources confirm she is not yet fully recovered.

Alongside her recovery, Kate is preparing for her annual Together at Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey, which she has hosted since 2021. While cold-water swimming may be one of her coping strategies, the Princess is navigating her post-treatment life carefully, day by day.
