Carys Douglas has shared an insight into her private life with some new photos of her "peaceful moments".
The 21-year-old daughter of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas took to Instagram on Friday to explain her recent absence on social media – and it appears she has had a fulfilling few weeks.
One photo shows the college student basking in the sun on a boat with the wind blowing her hair and her sun-kissed skin glowing with radiance.
A second image shows her enjoying some food on the deck of the boat with her brother, Dylan.
Two other photos feature a set of steps and her mother's niece, Ava reading in a chair with a beautiful view of her surroundings in the background.
Captioning the snaps, Carys wrote: "Some peaceful moments from the past couple of weeks."

Carys is extremely close to her parents and has attended various high-profile events with them in recent years, despite "hating" their level of fame when she was a child.

"That's when I knew, 'If this is going to be what it's like, I need to focus on who I really am, and this is going to be something that's just going to happen, and I can't do anything about it.'"

"Michael and I would be the first parents to say, 'You know, maybe you should think of another career,'" Catherine said during a past interview on Today.
"But we've seen how passionate they are about the craft. They know what celebritydom is. They know the good, the bad, warts and all that."

Carys has a particularly close bond with her mom. In 2021, the duo spoke to HELLO! about their relationship, with Catherine telling us: "We are very close – we talk about everything."

She added: "Our sense of humor is pretty similar, so we are always laughing when we are together. My mother is, honestly, the funniest person I know."
