Kate Middleton<\/a>swears by this favorite hobby, while Prince William<\/a> admits he goes in \u201cyelling and screaming\u201d before he finally enjoys it.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a> appeared on “The Good, The Bad, & The Rugby Podcast<\/a>.” There, Kate revealed that she is a huge fan of cold-water swimming.<\/p>\n

She admitted that William called her “crazy” for her love of cold-water swimming, regardless of the weather. “The colder the better, I absolutely love it. I will go and seek out cold water.”<\/p>\n

The princess added that her family<\/a> was always “very active.” She said she could always remember “using their bodies, whether it was walking, swimming from a young age,” and noted that she loves “all sports.”<\/p>\n

However, her love of cold-water plunges wasn’t shared with William until recently. During a November<\/a> 2025 visit to North Wales, where the royal couple lived<\/a> during the first two years of their marriage, he admitted that he now has an appreciation and love for one of his wife’s favorite hobbies.<\/p>\n

He met with members of the Marine Conservation Society\u2019s Youth Ocean Network in Colwyn Bay and also spent time with the area\u2019s cold-water swimming group. “You feel great afterwards,” William said of his wife’s favorite activity, according to Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I love it. I do a lot of yelling and screaming when I get in,” he joked.<\/p>\n

Kate Middleton and Prince William Encourage Family Exercise<\/p>\n

The Prince and Princess of Wales have always shared an active lifestyle. They\u2019ve passed that passion on to their three children: Prince George<\/a>, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.<\/p>\n

According to The Daily Mirror<\/a>, Kate discussed how she encourages family exercise during a 2023 reception for the\u00a0England Wheelchair Rugby League\u00a0squad. She revealed that her children jump on the trampoline before school, and when she is able, she joins them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re always slightly competitive with each other. They all love sport, and Louis is mad about rugby,” she added. \u201cThey are at an age where they just love running<\/a> around.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2020, Kate admitted during an interview on the “Happy Mum Happy Baby<\/a>” podcast that her favorite family moments take place when she and her clan are outside. “I’m happy when I\u2019m with my family outside in the countryside, and we\u2019re all filthy dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Doing the simple things, going for a walk together, and that\u2019s really what I try and do with my children as well. Because it totally strips away all the complications, all the pressures.”<\/p>\n

Kate Middleton helms the fifth annual \u201cTogether at Christmas<\/a>\u201d Concert at Westminster Abbey on December<\/a> 5. The event was launched in 2021 as an opportunity to celebrate those who have made a difference in their communities<\/p>\n
