Princess Kate Middleton, known for her deep appreciation for nature, recently shared her passion for beekeeping and honey-making, which she may miss due to her family’s upcoming move to Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom home in Windsor. As the Duchess of Cambridge prepares for this transition, concerns arise about whether she will have the facilities to continue her beloved hobby.
During her royal engagements, Middleton has often highlighted the importance of bees, proudly informing children that there are 350 species of bees in the United Kingdom. Her enthusiasm for beekeeping is evident in her activities at Anmer Hall, the family’s holiday home in Norfolk, where she enjoys making honey. Nature appreciation has now become an integral part of her life and family culture.
In 2021, Kate Middleton painted a picture of her horticultural passion with her interest in beekeeping. She certainly enchanted local schoolchildren by distributing honey on her recent visit to the Natural History Museum in South Kensington. The honey she shared with us originated from her beehive located at the Wales family residence. Last month, at a joint engagement with Melania Trump, Middleton surprised kids by throwing sandwiches to them. She produced all the honey from her personal hives.

This quote perfectly summarizes Middleton’s commitment to teaching children — and adults — about the important work that bees do for the environment. In addition to her beekeeping, Alana is an avid cook and photographer. These interests reflect Gina’s active imaginative nature, and her varied creative talents.
Melania Trump’s recent visit to members of the Scouts’ Squirrels programme based at Frogmore Cottage. The panel was very energetic, especially when the two women yanked on the kids’ creativity. To the delight of the children, they continued the fun with the use of a parachute, demonstrating their light-hearted spirit when it comes to public events.
The Middleton family is preparing to take up residence in Forest Lodge later this year. It remains to be seen if this new home is hospitable enough for beekeeping. Otherwise, Kate could only produce honey during the warmer summer months. This exceedingly arbitrary limitation would significantly reduce her time spent pursuing her favorite pastime, counter to the intended purpose of the rule.
