Kate called on other mums around the world to "nurture" their "inner selves".

“Over the past year, nature has been our sanctuary," she wrote, following her cancer diagnosis last March.

"This Mother’s Day, let us celebrate Mother Nature and recognise how our bond with the natural world can help not only nurture our inner selves, but remind us too of the role we play within the rich tapestry of life. C.”

The post comes a year after the future queen shared her diagnosis in an emotional video statement.

In January, Kate spoke of her "relief" as she disclosed she is in remission after her battle with the disease.

The Royal Family also chimed in with a message commemorating the special day.

King Charles and Queen Camilla paid tribute to their own mums with images of the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1956 and The Queen's late mother, Rosalind, with her eldest grandson, Tom.

"Wishing all mothers, and those who are missing theirs today, a peaceful Mothering Sunday," the post uploaded to Instagram read.

It comes after Kate shared a seperate video of her children on a picnic and playing games with the Middletons from the same trip to Norfolk in September.

The footage stars with the family walking in a forest with Kate, who does the voiceover.

She said: “As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.

“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family.

“Life as you know it can change in an instant and we've had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown."
