00:00First and foremost, I mean, what a beautiful video.

00:02I cried when I watched it.

00:04It was so, so moving and such a personal look into her life,

00:09but also such an important message.

00:10What was your reaction when you read the words

00:13and saw the video?

00:14I found myself so involved in a personal struggle

00:21and another life also that one could see

00:25despite everything that Catherine has been through,

00:30the love that she has and William has

00:33and that she has for her family.

00:37I mean, it was a message that you could see

00:40the deep struggle.

00:41It was obviously a very, very positive spin was on it

00:47because she has now finished chemo,

00:50but she emphasizes in her message, the long road ahead,

00:53but looking at it,

00:55you're right, one did rather dissolve

00:58because it was so moving.

01:01It was so true.

01:02And the millions of people who've suffered

01:06in one way or another from this dreadful disease,

01:10I being one of them, my mother,

01:14will relate so personally.

01:17She is also in a much better place,

01:20but it is still a struggle.

01:22Why do you think that they chose to send that message

01:26this way rather than just release this beautiful statement?

01:30Why do you think they wanted to show this

01:32in a video as well?

01:34A video means that firstly, you connect very, very personally

01:39rather than just in a statement.

01:41You can also show family life

01:43and you can also get an impression

01:46of what normality is like.

01:49And that is, of course, what we see, but equally,

01:52if you'd listen to the words,

01:54you understand that for nine months,

01:57there's been a struggle and that struggle has been tough

02:00and there's plenty still to go and she recognizes that,

02:05but also she's looking forward to getting back to work.

02:07There will be engagements and engaging is what this does.

02:11It's terribly moving, as you're right,

02:14it's hard to see it dry eyed

02:16because this brings home, as nothing else could,

02:21how a person's life can be changed

02:26by something just happening so suddenly

02:28and potentially disastrously.
