00:00You know, considering that trip to the Isle of Mull, doesn't Kate look like she's back?
00:05She looks stunning.
00:07She looks really, the smiles are big and they're real and she looks happy.
00:12And I was just watching her with people yesterday and I just, she just, it feels like she's back to me.
00:17I hope so.
00:17It really feels like she's come back.
00:18100%.
00:18Yeah, 100%.
00:19I really do, really hope so.
00:21It's quite an ordeal.
00:22And in that video she released recently about talking about nature with the kids.
00:26And you know, Pierce, when you're, well, you know, when you're in the public eye, there's a pressure for you to smile the whole time.
00:32Even if you don't feel, even if you feel like death, there's a pressure to smile and be good and everyone picks.
00:36And you know that people are looking at you to look for little signs that maybe she's not good and maybe she's, you know, whatever.
00:42And I just, I just looked at them yesterday with all the pictures.
00:46And there are loads of pictures in the Express today, really happy pictures.
00:50And I think he, I think William has played a blinder with her, don't you?
00:54You know, I wasn't sure how good he would be in this situation in the sense that he had to look after her and his kids and carry on doing the job.
01:02Yeah, it's a lot.
01:03And it's a lot to do and he's done it brilliantly well.
01:06I think it's underrated how much of a natural Kate is, actually.
01:09You know, she, she is not, obviously she's from a very nice background, but she's not from the world of the royals.
01:15She wasn't brought up to this.
01:16She wasn't brought up to do this.
01:17And she is really, when it comes to crowds and meeting people, she does have that kind of common touch that many others don't.
01:23And I'd hate to compare her, but she's got the Diana touch, hasn't she?
01:26She really has.
01:27Yeah, she really has.
01:28And Diana was brilliant with people.
01:30Yeah.
01:30And I think Kate, you know, Kate, you know, I mean, she's, she's, she's a fantastic mother, but she's doing other things too.
01:37And she's trying to forge a path in much the same way that Diana did, you know, with her photography, getting involved with various charities that she supports.
01:46And I just, I just think she's, I think you're right, Andy.
01:49People do, you know, she's not celebrated enough, actually.
01:53She has not put a foot wrong.
01:55No.
01:55You know, Diana arguably did put a foot wrong quite a few times.
01:59She decided she was going to be royal in her own right and to help Charles.
02:03Exactly.
02:03And she was in competition with him, open competition.
02:06Yeah.
02:06It's called the War of the Whaleses.
02:07Yeah.
02:07And the thing is, you know, Diana did what she did to achieve what she wanted to achieve.
02:12Kate is managing to do that without stepping out of side of royal protocol, without upsetting the family, without, you know.
02:20I think, I think the key to her success, if they don't get anywhere near enough credit, are her parents.
02:25Yeah.
02:25I think they've raised her so well.
02:28And I think they are phenomenal grandparents to those children.
02:31And I think they're probably superb in-laws for William as well.
02:34You know, you're right, Bev.
02:35And there's a lot of sneering about.
02:37There was originally.
02:38Do you remember?
02:39There still kind of is, you know.
02:40There is a little bit.
02:41The fact that she was one to hostie.
02:42Doors, doors, doors, doors.
02:43Doors to manual manual.
02:44Because she was an estuart.
02:45Yeah.
02:46All that time.
02:46But after that, she managed to make a multi-million pound fortune.
02:49Without the help of any business.
02:50Yeah.
02:51That's right.
02:52But whilst also staying rather in the background.
02:54Yeah.
02:55They don't push themselves towards red carpet events.
02:57They don't do interviews.
02:58No, I think they're wonderful.
03:00Yeah.
