What Is Kate Middleton’s Secret Hobbie That She Hides From The Paps And Public? Here’s What We Know

As a lifestyle expert, I must confess that I am truly inspired by Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales. Her passion for outdoor activities and unique hobbies are not only refreshing but also serve as a testament to her resilience and zest for life.


It’s common knowledge that Kate Middleton, also known as the Princess of Wales, harbors a deep affection for outdoor pursuits. One particular pastime she indulges in, despite her hectic royal duties, is rather unusual and could catch even devoted royal enthusiasts off guard. Frequently under the glare of public attention, Kate finds creative ways to satisfy her craving for physical challenges.

In March 2022, Prince William and Princess Kate undertook a royal journey that took them to Belize, Jamaica, and the Bahamas in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. Despite their tour being filled with numerous official duties, they managed to steal away from public gaze for a short while during this week-long adventure.

In the Bahamas on their second day of travel, Kate and William participated in a coral farming and marine preservation project called Coral Vita by going snorkeling. Given their passion for diving, they delved into the ocean’s enchanting depths to appreciate its beauty while gaining insight into the program.

Matt Porteous, the photographer, documented an extraordinary underwater escapade featuring a couple, both clad in wetsuits and snorkeling equipment. A video posted on their social media platforms showcased them playfully swimming amidst the kaleidoscopic marine life while exchanging the universal ‘okay’ hand gesture.

In her scuba gear, which made her nearly unrecognizable, Kate kept on her famous sapphire engagement ring – an heirloom originally owned by Princess Diana. Eagle-eyed fans spotted this and connected the Princess with her regal identity, even at the ocean’s depths.

Kate Middleton’s enthusiasm for scuba diving goes beyond a mere hobby; it’s something more substantial. In the year 2015, she was bestowed with the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) Advanced Open Water Diver accreditation. This certification permits her to explore the underwater world down to depths of thirty meters.

The affection for scuba diving has been passed down in the Middleton family. Regular vacations to Mustique, a popular destination, may be where Kate honed her skills. William, who also enjoys diving, mirrors this passion. In 2014, he assumed the presidency of the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC), following in his father’s footsteps, King Charles.

Although both Kate and her husband enjoy scuba diving, there’s another water-related pastime that she enjoys but he doesn’t – cold water swimming. The Princess often expresses her fondness for this distinctive activity which includes swimming in unheated outdoor pools or icy waters during the winter season.

During an episode of Mike Tindall’s podcast “The Good, The Bad and The Rugby”, Kate shared her passion for physical activities. She talked about her childhood, mentioning that her parents were always supportive of outdoor pursuits, stating, “I have vivid memories of being active, involving my body, whether it was hiking in the Lake District, Scotland, swimming since I was young, or simply taking walks.

Kate has a particular fondness for swimming in cold water. The colder, the more she enjoys it. She expressed this passion saying, “I could almost say I’m obsessed.” Often, William finds her enthusiasm quite amusing. She explained, “Even if it’s dark and raining, I’ll still seek out cold water swimming. I just love it that much.
