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.
