In a recent interview, Princess Catherine revealed a surprising passion that left her husband, Prince William, calling her “crazy”. She shared her enthusiasm for the unconventional hobby of cold-water swimming. In her own words, “I really loved all sports”, she said, recalling her active childhood with physical activities such as hiking in Scotland’s Lake District and swimming.

She credits her parents for instilling a spirit of physical activity and teamwork throughout her growing up. However, she stressed that cold-water swimming was particularly meaningful to her. “The colder the better”, she declared, expressing her deep joy in the experience even in adverse weather conditions.

She humorously noted that Prince William often teased her about her devotion to the hobby, especially when the weather was gloomy and rainy, saying “You’re crazy” when he saw her brave the elements to find cold water.

The unusual pastime has attracted many people, especially since the 42-year-old future queen is currently recovering from cancer. Typically, people undergoing cancer treatment are advised not to engage in strenuous physical activity.

However, Princess Catherine maintains an active lifestyle. She has been spotted attending many public events, including Wimbledon, with her daughter Charlotte and sister Pippa Middleton, demonstrating her commitment to staying busy and energetic despite her health challenges.
