OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE, APPEARING

03:44

HER CHILDREN, RAISING QUESTIONS

IS SHOCKING. WE HAVE BEEN

FELT THAT THIS WAS THE

DIAGNOSIS, A CANCER DIAGNOSIS

04:33

FOR PRINCESS CATHERINE. I THINK

04:36

RIGHT NOW PEOPLE DO HAVE A LOT

04:38

OF QUESTIONS. PEOPLE ASK

04:39

KENSINGTON PALACE WHAT KIND OF

04:40

CANCER, WHAT STAGE OF CANCER.

04:42

RIGHT NOW THEY ARE SAYING THIS

04:44

IS A PRIVATE MATTER AND IT'S

04:46

GOING TO STAY THAT WAY. I THINK

04:48

FOR ME, WHAT'S ALSO SO SHOCKING

04:49

IS THINKING OF KATE RIGHT NOW.

04:51

SHE'S SO YOUNG, 42 YEARS OLD, A

04:53

MOM TO THREE YOUNG KIDS. SHE

04:54

TALKS ABOUT THEM IN THAT

04:56

PERSONAL VIDEO OF GIVING THEM

04:57

TIME TO PROCESS THIS. SHE'S BEEN

04:59

IN RELATIVELY GOOD HEALTH. SHE'S

05:00

ATHLETIC. I THINK, AGAIN,

05:03

HEARING THIS NEWS, THE COUNTRY

05:05

IS GOING TO NEED TIME TO PROCESS

05:07

THIS. RIGHT NOW. IT'S REALLY

05:09

FLOORING PEOPLE.

05:09

>> MAGGIE RULLI RIGHT THERE

05:10

OUTSIDE BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

05:12

MAGGIE THANK YOU. I WANT TO

05:13

BRING IN OUR ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR,

05:15

VICTORIA MURPHY AS WELL. AND

05:17

VICTORIA, YOU'VE LEARNED MORE

05:18

ABOUT WHY THE TIMING HAS BEEN AS

05:20

SUCH, LEARNING NOW, THE PEOPLE

05:23

OF THE U.K. AND CERTAINLY AROUND

05:25

THE WORLD, LISTENING TO THIS

05:27

MESSAGE FROM PRINCESS CATHERINE,

05:28

YOU HEARD HER REFERENCE THERE.

05:30

SHE NEEDED TIME TO EXPLAIN THIS

05:31

TO THEIR CHILDREN. BUT AN

05:33

EXTRAORDINARY MOMENT. AND IN

05:34

FACT, I CAN'T REMEMBER ONE LIKE

05:36

THIS FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY.

05:39

>> NO, EXACTLY. AND NEITHER CAN

05:40

I. AND NOW WE HAVE A SITUATION

05:42

WHERE WE HAVE BOTH THE KING AND

05:44

THE PRINCESS OF WALES BEING

05:46

TREATED FOR UNDISCLOSED FORMS OF

05:46

CANCER. IT REALLY IS

05:47

UNPRECEDENTED. AND IT DOES HAVE

05:48

THAT VERY DESTABILIZING EFFECT.

05:50

DAVID. I MEAN, I WAS IN A CALL

05:52

WITH KENSINGTON PALACE EARLIER

05:54

ON TODAY WHERE THIS WAS LAID OUT

05:55

FOR US, AND IT WAS EXPLAINED TO

05:57

US AND AS MAGGIE SAID, THE

06:00

OVERRIDING SENTIMENT THERE WAS

06:01

JUST COMPLETE SHOCK THAT THIS IS

06:03

WHAT WE ARE HEARING AND SOME OF

06:05

THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE VERY

06:06

KEEN TO GET ACROSS. ONE WAS THAT

06:08

THIS DECISION TO ANNOUNCE THIS

06:10

IS NOT SOME KIND OF REACTION TO

06:12

THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT

06:13

HAVE BEEN SWIRLING. THIS IS

06:14

ABOUT THE PRINCESS DECIDING IN

06:16

HER OWN TIME TO ANNOUNCE THIS IN

06:18

THE WAY THAT WAS BEST FOR HER

06:20

AND HER FAMILY. AND I THINK IT

06:21

WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO HER TO DO

06:24

THAT. IN HER OWN WORDS, IN A

06:25

VIDEO MESSAGE, TO TALK DIRECTLY

06:27

TO THE PUBLIC WHO HAS BEEN SO

06:28

INTERESTED AND SO KEEN TO KNOW

06:31

HOW SHE IS DOING AND TO TELL

06:33

THEM. AND THE OTHER THING THAT I

06:34

REALLY FELT CAME ACROSS DAVID,

06:36

WAS HOW SO MUCH OF THE DECISIONS

06:37

THAT THEY HAVE MADE IN THE PAST

06:40

FEW WEEKS HAVE REALLY BEEN ABOUT

06:41

FOCUSING ON THEIR CHILDREN AND

06:43

PUTTING THEIR CHILDREN FIRST,

06:44

AND EVEN THE TIMING OF THIS

06:47

ANNOUNCEMENT REALLY IS ALL

06:48

ABOUT, I THINK, PROTECTING THE

06:49

CHILDREN BECAUSE THEIR CHILDREN,

06:51

GEORGE, CHARLOTTE AND LOUIS HAVE

06:53

JUST BROKEN UP FOR THEIR EASTER

06:54

HOLIDAYS THERE. SO THEY'RE NOW

06:56

ABLE TO TAKE THE CHILDREN AWAY

06:57

FROM THEIR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

06:59

AND KEEP THEM IN A BUBBLE WITH

07:01

THEM AND REALLY PROTECT THEM

07:02

FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD. WHILE

07:04

THIS NEWS AND WHILE THIS

07:05

REACTION OFTEN HITS THE REST OF

07:07

THE WORLD, AND WHILE PEOPLE ARE

07:09

TALKING ABOUT IT, THE INFERENCE

07:10

THERE THAT WE GOT FROM THAT

07:13

DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD WITH

07:14

KENSINGTON PALACE WAS THAT IT

07:15

TOOK THEM SOME TIME TO TELL THE

07:18

CHILDREN. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE

07:19

THE CHILDREN WERE TOLD STRAIGHT

07:20

AWAY, BUT THEY ARE NOT GIVING US

07:22

LOTS OF SPECIFIC INFORMATION

07:23

ABOUT WHAT HAS GONE ON BEHIND

07:24

THE SCENES, BECAUSE THEY ARE

07:25

ALSO TRYING TO MAINTAIN THEIR

07:26

PRIVACY.

07:27

>> VICTORIA, I WOULD ALSO

07:28

IMAGINE AND I'M ASSUMING THIS

07:30

FROM THE TIMING OF THIS IN

07:31

MENTIONING THAT THE CHILDREN ARE

07:34

HOME NOW FOR THE EASTER BREAK.

07:35

THEY WON'T BE SURROUNDED BY

07:36

OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE, OTHER FOLKS

07:38

WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO ASK

07:39

QUESTIONS AT SCHOOL AND

07:41

ELSEWHERE THAT THIS WILL BE A

07:43

TIME FOR THE FAMILY AND A

07:43

SOMEWHAT PROTECTED TIME ALSO

07:44

WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THERE'S BEEN

07:46

THIS SORT OF TIME FRAME IN

07:48

WAITING TO TELL THE PUBLIC, AND

07:50

I THINK THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT.

07:52

>> I THINK THAT IS EXACTLY IT.

07:54

SHE HAS BEEN PROCESSING THIS

07:55

INFORMATION. SHE'S BEEN

07:56

DISCUSSING IT WITH HER HUSBAND,

07:58

AND THEY'VE BEEN CONSIDERING HOW

07:59

TO TALK TO THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT

08:01

IT, BEARING IN MIND THAT THEIR

08:02

CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL, THEY GO

08:04

TO SCHOOL WITH OTHER CHILDREN,

08:05

THEY INTERACT WITH OTHER

08:06

CHILDREN, EVEN THINGS LIKE

08:07

TELLING THEIR CHILDREN SOMETHING

08:08

LIKE THIS AND THEN ASKING THEM

08:09

NOT TO TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT IT

08:11

IS A DIFFICULT THING TO DO. SO

08:13

ALL OF THESE THINGS WILL HAVE

08:15

BEEN GOING ON IN THEIR MINDS,

08:16

AND I THINK THE TIMING OF THIS

08:18

ANNOUNCEMENT IS ABOUT THE FACT

08:19

THAT THEY CAN NOW TAKE THEIR

08:20

CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE OUTSIDE

08:22

WORLD. THEY'RE GOING TO BE

08:23

HAVING TIME AS A FAMILY. AND

08:25

WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT NOT TO

08:27

EXPECT TO SEE THEM APPEAR AT

08:28

THAT EASTER SUNDAY SERVICE. AND

08:31

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT ALSO ANSWERS

08:32

THAT QUESTION THAT HAD SORT OF

08:33

BEEN BUBBLING UP RECENTLY. WHEN

08:35

ARE WE GOING TO SEE HER NEXT?

08:36

BECAUSE OF COURSE, THERE WAS A

08:38

VIDEO OF HER SEEN WALKING,

08:39

LOOKING WELL, LOOKING IN GOOD

08:42

SPIRITS. AND SO PEOPLE WERE

08:43

STARTING TO ASK, WELL, WILL SHE

08:44

BE AT THE EASTER SUNDAY SERVICE

08:46

WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL

08:48

FAMILY? AND SO THIS NOW ANSWERS

08:49

THAT QUESTION AND GIVES US A LOT

08:51

MORE CONTEXT FOR UNDERSTANDING

08:52

WHY THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE

08:54

THERE AS A FAMILY.

08:55

>> VICTORIA MURPHY, WITH US HERE

08:57

AS WE REPORT THE BREAKING NEWS

08:58

SUTTON, WHO'S WITH ME HERE ON

09:09

THE DESK IN NEW YORK. AND IT'S

09:11

REALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SPECULATE

09:12

WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE, AT LEAST

09:14

FROM A MEDICAL PERSPECTIVE,

09:15

BECAUSE WHEN YOU WHEN YOU HEAR

09:17

PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY, THIS

09:18

REALLY COULD BE A CATEGORY FOR A

09:20

NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF

09:22

CANCER.

09:22

>> ABSOLUTELY, DAVID. SO WHEN

09:23

YOU TALK ABOUT PREVENTATIVE

09:24

CHEMOTHERAPY, IT REALLY DEPENDS

09:25

ON WHAT TYPE OF CANCER WE'RE

09:27

TALKING ABOUT. IT CAN BE

09:28

DIFFERENT FROM ONE PATIENT TO

09:29

ANOTHER. THE MAIN GOALS OF

09:31

PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY

09:31

COMMONLY WHEN THEY'RE USED IN

09:33

THE WORLD OF ONCOLOGY, IS NUMBER

09:34

ONE, TO PREVENT THE RISK OF

09:36

RECURRENCE. AND THEN IN CERTAIN

09:38

CASES, THE SURGEON OR THE

09:39

ONCOLOGIST MIGHT BE CONCERNED

09:41

THAT THERE ARE RESIDUAL CANCER

09:42

CELLS THERE. AND AGAIN, THAT

09:43

GOAL OF THAT PREVENTATIVE

09:45

CHEMOTHERAPY IS TO PREVENT THOSE

09:46

CANCER CELLS FROM BECOMING A

09:47

PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.

09:49

>> SO THAT'S SORT OF TWO

09:50

DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. THERE

09:51

COULD BE A SITUATION WHERE THE

09:52

CANCER THEY BELIEVE IS OUT, BUT

09:54

THAT THEY WOULD PRESCRIBE

09:55

PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY TO

09:58

MAKE SURE OR TO TRY TO ENSURE IT

10:00

DOESN'T COME BACK. THERE COULD

10:02

BE ANOTHER SCENARIO, FOR

10:03

EXAMPLE, WHERE THEY MIGHT

10:04

BELIEVE THERE COULD BE SOME

10:05

CANCER LEFT AND THEY WANT TO

10:06

THEY WANT TO TRY TO GO AT IT

10:08

RIGHT AWAY.

10:09

>> AND THAT IS QUITE POSSIBLE.

10:10

AND ALSO THE TYPE OF

10:12

CHEMOTHERAPY IS ALSO INDICATED

10:13

OR DICTATED BY THE TYPE OF

10:14

CANCER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IN

10:15

CERTAIN CASES YOU CAN HAVE

10:17

TARGETED CHEMOTHERAPY AND IN

10:18

OTHER CASES YOU CAN GIVE MORE

10:19

GENERAL CHEMOTHERAPY. NOW THAT'S

10:21

IMPORTANT FOR THE PATIENT TO

10:22

KNOW ABOUT JUST IN TERMS OF WHAT

10:24

TO EXPECT. AND WHEN WE HEAR

10:25

ABOUT ABDOMINAL SURGERY BACK IN

10:26

JANUARY, THIS HAD BEEN REPORTED

10:28

AT THE TIME.

10:28

>> IT WOULD LIKELY BE FOOLISH TO

10:33

ASSUME THAT THIS IS ABDOMINAL

10:34

CANCER. IT COULD BE ANY NUMBER

10:36

OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CANCER

10:37

BASED ON WHAT THEY DISCOVERED

10:38

AFTERWARDS, ACCORDING TO THE

10:39

BUCKINGHAM PALACE HERE.

10:40

>> THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT. SO

10:41

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ABDOMINAL

10:43

SURGERY AND ABDOMINAL CANCERS,

10:44

THAT CAN INCLUDE A VARIETY OF

10:45

DIFFERENT CAUSES. WE CAN TALK

10:46

ABOUT STOMACH CANCER. WE CAN

10:48

TALK ABOUT COLON CANCER, AND WE

10:49

CAN ALSO TALK ABOUT UTERINE

10:50

CANCER AND OVARIAN CANCER. ALL

10:52

OF THESE CANCERS AS, AS AS WELL

10:54

AS OTHER TYPES OF CANCERS CAN BE

10:55

POSSIBLE. BUT WE DO NOT KNOW

10:57

THAT INFORMATION AS WE RESPECT

10:58

HER PRIVACY, WE'RE GETTING

10:59

REACTION FROM THE PRIME MINISTER

11:00

OF THE U.K. DOCTOR DARREN

11:02

SUTTON.

11:03

>> DARIAN, THANK YOU. I WANT TO

11:04

BRING BACK IN MAGGIE FOR

11:05

REACTION FROM THE PRIME

11:06

MINISTER. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING?

11:09

>> YEAH, WE JUST HEARD FROM THE

11:10

PRIME MINISTER, RISHI SUNAK,

11:11

HERE IN THE U.K. HE HAD A

11:13

STATEMENT. THE LOVE AND SUPPORT

11:15

OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY GOES OUT TO

11:16

THE PRINCESS OF WALES AFTER SHE

11:18

ANNOUNCED SHE'S UNDERGOING

11:18

TREATMENT FOR CANCER. I THINK,

11:20

DAVID, IT CAN'T BE OVERSTATED

11:21

HOW IMPORTANT THE ROYAL FAMILY

11:23

IS FOR THIS COUNTRY AND THE FACT

11:25

THAT THE PRINCESS OF WALES, THE

11:26

FUTURE QUEEN, JUST ANNOUNCED

11:28

THAT SHE HAS CANCER. IT'S REALLY

11:29

ROCKING THIS COUNTRY RIGHT NOW

11:33

SO MUCH. THE PRIME MINISTER MADE

11:34

THAT STATEMENT ALMOST

11:35

IMMEDIATELY AFTER HER VIDEO WAS

11:36

RELEASED. MAGGIE REALLY OUTSIDE

11:38

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

11:39

>> MAGGIE. THANK YOU. OUR CHIEF

11:40

MEDICAL EDITOR, JEN ASHTON, ALSO

11:42

WITH US ON THE PHONE, AND DOCTOR

11:44

ASHTON, JUST TO ADD WHAT DOCTOR

11:46

SUTTON WAS OFFERING JUST MOMENTS

11:47

AGO, WHEN YOU HEAR FROM

11:49

BUCKINGHAM PALACE THAT THEY

11:50

DISCOVERED THE CANCER IN TESTING

11:52

FOLLOWING THE SURGERY, THAT'S

11:53

NOT UNCOMMON, RIGHT, DAVID?

11:56

>> I MEAN, I THINK WHEN PEOPLE

11:59

HEAR THIS STORY, IF THEY'RE

12:00

UNDERGOING ELECTIVE SCHEDULED

12:03

SURGERY, IT CAN BE FRIGHTENING,

12:04

RIGHT, TO THINK YOU'RE GOING IN

12:06

FOR SURGERY, FOR ONE THING, AND

12:08

YOU COME OUT THEN SOMETIME AFTER

12:10

THE SURGERY AND THE

12:11

POST-OPERATIVE PERIOD WITH A

12:12

DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER, IT'S

12:13

IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT

12:14

BEFORE WE TAKE A PATIENT TO THE

12:17

OPERATING ROOM, THERE ARE

12:18

CERTAIN TUMOR MARKERS THAT CAN

12:20

BE TESTED FOR WITH BLOOD TESTS.

12:22

AND THEN THERE'S IMAGING, CAT

12:23

SCANS, MRIS, ULTRASOUNDS THAT

12:24

TEND TO GIVE THE SURGEON AN IDEA

12:28

WHETHER SOMETHING IS MALIGNANT

12:30

OR BENIGN. AFTER THE SURGERY,

12:31

WHEN THE PATIENT GOES HOME TO

12:34

RECOVER, THAT'S WHEN THE

12:35

PATHOLOGISTS ARE GOING TO BE

12:37

STUDYING THOSE SPECIMENS. AND

12:38

THAT'S WHY THERE CAN BE A DELAY.

12:40

AND GETTING A CANCER DIAGNOSIS.

12:41

SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTED EARLY IN THE

12:44

POST-OPERATIVE PERIOD.

12:45

>> AND DOCTOR JEN, WHEN YOU HEAR

12:47

PRINCESS CATHERINE IN THAT

12:48

MESSAGE TOWARD THE END THERE

12:50

SAYING, I AM WELL, I AM GETTING

12:51

STRONGER EVERY DAY, I MUST FOCUS

12:53

ON A FULL RECOVERY. NOW, WHAT

12:55

DOES THAT TELL YOU?

12:56

>> MIND BODY CONNECTION. DAVID,

12:58

YOU AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT

13:00

BEFORE. IT'S SO IMPORTANT WHEN

13:01

PEOPLE RECOVER FROM ANY

13:03

OPERATION, WHETHER IT'S ROUTINE,

13:05

WHETHER IT'S SCHEDULED, OR

13:06

WHETHER IT'S EMERGENT. THE MIND

13:09

HAS TO HEAL AND THE BODY HAS TO

13:11

HEAL. AND THOSE PROCESSES TAKE

13:12

TIME, AND SOMEONE'S SPIRIT AND

13:13

SOMEONE'S MINDSET IS AS

13:16

IMPORTANT AS THEIR PHYSICAL

13:17

CONDITION. GOING INTO THAT

13:19

PERIOD.

13:19

>> AND WE CANNOT OVERSTATE THE

13:21

FACT THAT SHE IS 42 YEARS OLD,

13:23

THE MOTHER OF THREE YOUNG

13:24

CHILDREN. SO SHE OUGHT TO BE

13:26

AFFORDED ALL THE TIME THAT SHE

13:27

NEEDS TO GET STRONGER AND TO GET

13:29

BETTER. JEN ASHTON WITH US AS

13:31

WELL. JEN, THANK YOU AS ALWAYS.

13:33

I WANT TO BRING IN ABC NEWS

13:34

CONTRIBUTOR, ROYAL EDITOR AT THE

13:35

LONDON EVENING STANDARD, FOR ONE

13:36

FINAL THOUGHT HERE. ROBERT, YOU

13:37

AND I HAVE BEEN ON THE AIR

13:39

COVERING THE ROYALS SO OFTEN AND

13:41

I CAN'T REMEMBER A SITUATION,

13:42

FIRST OF ALL, WHERE WE'VE HEARD

13:44

PRINCESS CATHERINE AT THIS

13:45

LENGTH IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA

13:47

WITH A MESSAGE BEING SEEN BY THE

13:48

WORLD AND CERTAINLY UNDER THESE

13:49

CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT ALSO BIG

13:50

PICTURE HERE TO KNOW THAT THE

13:52

KING IS BATTLING SOME FORM OF

13:54

CANCER, AND THAT PRINCESS

13:55

CATHERINE NOW SAYS SHE'S BEING

13:56

TREATED FOR PREVENTATIVE

13:58

CHEMOTHERAPY FOR A TYPE OF

13:59

CANCER. AS WELL. THIS IS A THIS

14:02

IS AN EXTRAORDINARY MOMENT FOR

14:03

THE ROYAL FAMILY.

14:04

>> WELL, DAVID, AS MAGGIE SAID,

14:08

THIS IS DEEPLY, DEEPLY SHOCKING.

14:09

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T

14:11

EXPECT THAT ANYTHING LIKE THIS,

14:12

NOT ONLY TO HAVE THE KING, WHO'S

14:14

OBVIOUSLY NOT ONLY CARRYING OUT

14:16

CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES, BUT HE'S

14:18

RECOVERING AND BEING TREATED FOR

14:19

CANCER. BUT THE OTHER REAL STAR

14:21

PERFORMER, THE PRINCESS OF

14:23

WALES, TO COME OUT AND WHAT I

14:25

THOUGHT WAS A COURAGEOUS

14:25

STATEMENT THE WAY SHE GAVE THAT

14:26

ADDRESS, IT SHOWED WHAT A STEELY

14:30

CHARACTER SHE IS AND WHAT YOU'RE

14:32

GUESTS HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT

14:33

HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR HER TO

14:35

HAVE THE MENTAL APPLICATION TO

14:36

DEAL WITH THIS. I HAVE NO DOUBT

14:38

WHATSOEVER SHE HAS THAT SHE'S

14:39

SOMEBODY WHO I THINK IS VERY

14:41

STRONG PERSON. YOU KNOW, NOT

14:43

ONLY SHE IS THE MOTHER OF THREE,

14:45

BUT SHE'S A DEEPLY COMMITTED TO

14:47

THE ROYAL FAMILY AND TO MAKING

14:50

SURE THAT SHE AND I THINK THERE

14:51

WAS WHAT I FELT IN THAT

14:53

STATEMENT WAS THAT THAT REAL

14:54

DETERMINATION TO BEAT THIS. AND

14:57

I'M SURE THAT THE MEDIA WILL

14:58

GIVE THEM THE TIME AND SPACE

14:59

THAT THEY NEED, BUT IT DOES ON

15:01

THE BIGGER PICTURE, PUT A LOT OF

15:03

PRESSURE ON PRINCE WILLIAM, THE

15:04

PRINCE OF WALES, THE HEIR TO THE

15:06

THRONE, AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF

15:07

THE ROYAL FAMILY. THERE ARE

15:09

FEWER AND FEWER, IT SEEMS, WITH

15:11

THE TWO STAR PERFORMERS. THE

15:12

KING AND THE PRINCESS OF WALES

15:13

ARE OUT OF ACTION. IT DOES DRAW

15:16

A LOT OF ATTENTION ON PRINCE

15:17

WILLIAM, WHO'S GOT A LOT TO DEAL

15:19

WITH AT THE MOMENT.

15:19

>> ROBERT JOBSON WITH US AS WELL

15:21

THIS AFTERNOON AS WE REPORT THE

15:22

NEWS THAT'S COMING IN FROM

15:24

BUCKINGHAM PALACE, PRINCESS

15:25

CATHERINE AND THAT STATEMENT TO

15:26

THE WORLD, TO THE PEOPLE OF THE

15:28

UK, AND CERTAINLY AROUND THE

15:29

GLOBE WHO'VE BEEN CONCERNED

15:30

ABOUT HER ABSENCE IN RECENT

15:31

WEEKS, SAYING SHE IS BEING

15:33

TREATED WITH PREVENTATIVE

15:34

CHEMOTHERAPY FOR A CANCER THAT

15:35

SHOWED UP IN TESTING FOLLOWING

15:37

THAT ABDOMINAL SURGERY. WE

15:39

SHOULD MENTION THE WHITE HOUSE

15:40

ADDRESSING THIS JUST MOMENTS

15:41

AGO, SAYING OUR THOUGHTS ARE

15:43

WITH THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE

15:44

AND HER FAMILY, HER FRIENDS

15:45

DURING THIS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT

15:47

TIME. CERTAINLY WE WISH HER A

15:48

FULL RECOVERY. WE RESPECT THEIR

15:49

PRIVACY, ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME

15:53

. I SHOULD NOTE THAT ALSO QUITE

15:54

TELLING IN THAT MESSAGE, AT

15:55

LEAST FOR ME, WAS THE FACT THAT

15:57

SHE POINTED OUT THE MILLIONS OF

16:00

OTHERS, CERTAINLY THROUGH THE

16:01

U.K. AND AROUND THE WORLD, WHO

16:02

ARE BATTLING SOME FORM OF

16:03

CANCER. SHE INDICATED THAT HER

16:05

THOUGHTS ARE WITH THEM AS WELL

16:07

AS SHE FIGHTS THIS. AND IN WHAT

16:10

HAS BECOME A VERY PUBLIC WAY,

16:11

BEGINNING TODAY, OUR COVERAGE IS

16:13

GOING TO CONTINUE ABC NEWS LIVE,

16:14

ABC NEWS.COM, AND OF COURSE,

16:15

I'LL BE BACK WITH THE ENTIRE

16:18

TEAM A BIT LATER. FOR WORLD NEWS

16:19

TONIGHT, I'M DAVID MUIR IN NEW

16:21

YORK. UNTIL THEN, GOOD DAY.

16:23

>> THIS HAS BEEN

16:45

,WHICH SHE STARTED

16:45

IN LATE FEBRUARY.

16:46

SHE SAID THE TESTS FOLLOWING

16:49

HER DOMINO SURGERY IN JANUARY

16:50

ACTUALLY REVEALED THE CANCER

16:53

AND THAT AT THE TIME OF HER

16:53

SURGERY, DOCTORS THOUGHT

16:54

HER CONDITION WAS NON-CANCEROUS

16:57

.

16:57

SO IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING

16:58

THAT SURGERY.

16:58

AND THE PRINCESS WENT ON TO SAY

17:01

THAT THIS DIAGNOSIS, OF COURSE,

17:02

CAME AS A HUGE SHOCK AND THAT

17:02

IT TOOK TIME TO RECOVER FROM

17:05

MAJOR SURGERY AND START

17:06

TREATMENT.

17:08

AND TO EXPLAIN TO HER

17:09

THREE YOUNG CHILDREN WHAT IS

17:09

HAPPENING WITH THEIR HEALTH

17:12

AND THEIR FAMILY AND THAT

17:13

SHE'S GOING TO BE OKAY.

17:16

SHE SAID HAVING HER HUSBAND,

17:17

PRINCE WILLIAM, BY HER SIDE

17:17

WAS, QUOTE, A GREAT SOURCE

17:20

OF COMFORT AND REASSURANCE.

17:20

SHE ALSO ASKED FOR PRIVACY

17:21

WHILE SHE HER TREATMENT.

17:24

THE ROYAL FAMILY OFTEN NOT

17:27

OFFERED THAT PRIVACY.

17:27

SHE WANTS TO FOCUS ON MAKING

17:31

FULL RECOVERY HERE, OF COURSE,

17:32

AND SHE LOOKS FORWARD

17:32

TO RETURNING TO PUBLIC LIFE.

17:33

SOMETHING SHE SAID SHE LOVED

17:35

DOING THAT.

17:36

HER DUTIES AND WORK WITH THE

17:36

ROYAL FAMILY.

17:39

>> FOR MORE, WE WANT TO BRING

17:39

IN OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT,

17:40

MAGGIE RULLI.

17:40

SHE'S THERE AT BUCKINGHAM

17:42

PALACE, ALONG WITH OUR ROYAL

17:43

CONTRIBUTOR, ROBERT JOBSON,

17:46

WHO'S ALSO WITH HER, AND OUR

17:47

ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR, VICTORIA

17:47

MURPHY, ALSO MEDICAL

17:50

CORRESPONDENT DR.

17:51

DARIEN SUTTON.

17:54

SO, VICTORIA, LET'S START WITH

17:55

YOU.

17:55

STILL A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE

17:57

PRINCESS, HER DIAGNOSIS.

18:01

WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPE

18:05

OF CANCER IT IS, WHERE IT IS.

18:09

WE JUST KNOW SHE WENT IN FOR

18:10

ABDOMINAL SURGERY.

18:10

SHE WANTS TO REMAIN PRIVATE.

18:14

BUT OF COURSE, YOU KNOW,

18:14

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE

18:15

THAT THAT WANT TO KNOW MORE.

18:17

YES.

18:17

WELL, I THINK YOU KNOW, JUST

18:21

COMPLETELY SHOCKING NEWS,

18:21

REALLY.

18:21

AND I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS

18:24

IT WAS SO SHOCKING IS BECAUSE

18:24

ACTUALLY ONE OF THE FEW THINGS

18:25

THAT WE BEEN TOLD ABOUT HER

18:27

PROCEDURE BACK IN JANUARY WAS

18:27

THAT IT WAS NOT THOUGHT TO BE

18:31

CANCEROUS.

18:31

THAT WAS THE GUIDANCE AT THE

18:31

TIME, CLEARLY, BECAUSE THAT WAS

18:35

WHAT THEY UNDERSTOOD AT THE

18:35

TIME.

18:35

AND SO TO NOW HAVE THIS

18:38

INFORMATION THAT IT IS INDEED

18:38

CANCEROUS AND THAT SHE

18:39

IS HAVING WHAT THEY

18:42

ARE DESCRIBING AS PREVENTATIVE

18:42

CHEMOTHERAPY.

18:43

AND I ACTUALLY ASKED THE IN

18:46

A BRIEFING EARLIER ON TODAY,

18:46

I SAID IF YOU WERE ABLE

18:47

TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN

18:50

BY PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY

18:50

INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING

18:51

CHEMOTHERAPY AND, I WAS TOLD

18:53

THAT THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME.

18:54

BUT THAT WAS THE MEDICAL TERM

18:54

THAT THEY HAD BEEN GIVEN.

18:57

THEY'RE VERY KEEN TO BE VERY

18:58

SPECIFIC ABOUT THE FACT THIS

18:58

IS PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY

19:01

THAT SHE IS HAVING.

19:01

BUT WE UNDERSTAND THAT SHE

19:02

STARTED THAT AROUND FEBRUARY

19:05

TIME AND THAT THIS IS NOW

19:05

ONGOING.

19:07

>> I THINK REALLY REFLECTS

19:08

THE SITUATION THAT WE ARE IN

19:09

WHERE SHE IS THIS MOTHER WITH

19:12

YOUNG CHILDREN WHO HAVE HAD

19:12

THIS VERY DEVASTATING PIECE

19:16

OF NEWS AND HAS BEEN COMING

19:16

TO TERMS WITH THIS ON A

19:17

PERSONAL LEVEL.

19:20

SHE IS ALSO THE PRINCESS

19:21

OF WALES AND THERE HAS BEEN

19:21

ALL THIS INTEREST IN HER

19:23

RECOVERY AND SHE HOLDS A PUBLIC

19:24

POSITION WITHIN HER SOCIETY.

19:25

AND SO SHE IS NOW TO COME

19:28

FORWARD AND RELEASE THIS

19:28

PERSONAL VIDEO MESSAGE AND TELL

19:31

IN HER OWN WORDS WHAT HAS BEEN

19:35

HAPPENING UP TO A POINT, AS YOU

19:35

SAY, BECAUSE LIKE THE KING,

19:36

SHE'S NOT TELLING EXACTLY

19:39

WHAT KIND OF CANCER SHE HAS.

19:42

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

19:42

I WANT TO GO TO MAGGIE RULLI

19:43

NOW.

19:46

MAGGIE.

19:46

WE DO HAVE THIS STATEMENT FROM

19:47

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, THE PRESS

19:49

SECRETARY AND KAREN

19:50

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE AT THE

19:53

TOP OF THE BRIEFING TODAY

19:53

SAID OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH

19:54

THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE,

19:57

PRINCESS OF WALES, OF COURSE,

19:58

AND HER FAMILY MEMBERS

19:58

AND FRIENDS DURING THIS

19:59

INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TIME.

20:01

AND CERTAINLY WE WISH HER A

20:02

FULL RECOVERY.

20:02

AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE

20:05

RESPECT THEIR PRIVACY,

20:06

ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME.

20:06

AND MAGGIE, I WANT TO ASK

20:09

ABOUT THE REACTION THERE.

20:09

AS AN AMERICAN WHO ALSO LIVED

20:12

IN LONDON AND WE WATCHED

20:13

THE ROYAL FAMILY FROM AFAR WHEN

20:16

YOU'RE THERE, YOU GET A SENSE,

20:17

OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S THE FAMILY

20:20

OF, THE SOVEREIGN GOES BACK A

20:20

THOUSAND YEARS.

20:23

WHAT REACTION ARE THE BRITISH

20:24

PEOPLE HAVING TO THIS NEWS?

20:28

WE GOT TO I THINK IT'S SUCH

20:28

A GOOD POINT THAT THE ROYAL

20:29

FAMILY IS EMBEDDED IN THE

20:31

CULTURE HERE.

20:31

AMERICANS SORT OF LOOK ON FROM

20:34

AFAR AND ARE FASCINATED BY IT.

20:35

BUT LIVING IN THE U.K.,

20:38

THE FAMILY THAT PEOPLE GROW UP

20:39

WITH, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE OFTEN

20:40

THOUGHT OF AS ALMOST THE AND

20:42

GRANDMOTHER, SISTER,

20:42

BROTHER IN THE ROOM WITH THEM.

20:46

AND SO HAVING NEWS LIKE THIS,

20:47

I MEAN, NOT ONLY IS IT

20:47

IS SHOCKING, BUT IT'S

20:50

HEARTBREAKING FOR MANY PEOPLE.

20:51

MANY PEOPLE FEEL AS IF

20:51

IT'S HAPPENING TO ALMOST

20:54

A FAMILY MEMBER OR SOMEONE

20:55

THEY KNOW REALLY WELL, SOMEONE

20:55

THEY'VE GROWN UP AND ESPECIALLY

20:58

SOMEONE LIKE PRINCESS KATE.

20:58

YOU KNOW, SHE IS WELL-LIKED

21:01

BY THE U.K. PEOPLE.

21:02

SHE'S VERY WELL-LOVED.

21:06

THEY HAVE KIND OF GROWN UP

21:07

WITH HER.

21:07

SHE'S BEEN SEEING PRINCE

21:08

WILLIAM NOW TO HIM FOR SO LONG.

21:10

THEY HAVE THREE LITTLE KIDS

21:10

THAT ARE CHERISHED HERE.

21:13

SO TO HAVE THIS NEWS COME OUT,

21:14

A CANCER DIAGNOSIS ABOUT HER,

21:17

SOMEONE WHO'S NOT ONLY THE

21:17

PRINCESS OF WALES, BUT SHE'S

21:18

JUST TWO YEARS OLD.

21:21

IT'S SHOCKING.

21:21

I REALLY AS IF ALMOST NO

21:25

ONE FELT WE WOULD BE GETTING

21:25

THIS NEWS THIS AFTERNOON.

21:27

AND NOW PEOPLE ARE JUST SORT

21:28

OF REELING WITH THIS REALITY.

21:31

>> SO, DR. SUTTON, LET ME ASK.

21:35

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND

21:36

OF CANCER IT IS.

21:36

THEY'RE BEING VERY ABOUT IT.

21:40

>> BUT JUST THE POSSIBILITIES,

21:43

YOUR THOUGHTS OR WHAT YOU'RE

21:44

THINKING AS SHE GOES IN FOR

21:44

ABDOMINAL SURGERY AND THEN

21:46

DISCOVERS SHE HAS CANCER.

21:50

WHAT COULD SOME OF

21:51

THE POSSIBILITIES BE?

21:51

>> YOU KNOW, THERE'S A WIDE

21:54

VARIETY OF POSSIBILITIES WHEN

21:55

I THINK ABOUT THE REASONS WHY

21:56

SOMEONE MIGHT WELL, NUMBER ONE,

21:58

NEED MAJOR ABDOMINAL SURGERY.

21:58

AND THEN WHAT WAS FOUND.

21:59

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT CANCERS

22:02

THAT ARE FOUND IN THE ABDOMEN,

22:02

THAT CAN BE ANYTHING FROM

22:03

STOMACH, COLON CANCER TO EVEN

22:06

INCLUDE UTERINE OR OVARIAN

22:06

CANCER.

22:07

AND SO CAUSES OF OR THE REASON

22:10

WHY THIS CANCER WAS FOUND OR

22:14

THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

22:15

ASSOCIATED TO IT WON'T REALLY

22:15

BE UNDERSTOOD.

22:16

OBVIOUSLY AFTER, WE RESPECT

22:18

HER PRIVACY.

22:18

BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO THE USE

22:19

OF SOMETHING

22:19

CALLED PREVENTATIVE

22:21

CHEMOTHERAPY, WHICH CAN

22:21

BE DIFFERENT FROM PERSON

22:22

TO PERSON.

22:22

AND IT'S ALSO DEPENDENT

22:25

THE TYPE OF CANCER THAT THAT

22:25

PERSON HAS.

22:25

AND THERE'S ALSO DIFFERENT

22:26

TYPES OF CHEMOTHERAPY

22:29

BEING TARGETED, CHEMOTHERAPY

22:29

VERSUS A MORE GENERAL FORM

22:32

OF CHEMOTHERAPY.

22:33

THESE ARE ALL THINGS

22:33

THAT PATIENTS NEED

22:34

TO UNDERSTAND IN ORDER

22:34

TO BETTER WHAT TO EXPECT.

22:37

>> THANK YOU, DR. SUTTON AND WE

22:41

WANT TO GO BACK AND LISTEN

22:41

TO KATE AGAIN.

22:42

PRINCESS KATE, THE PRINCESS

22:45

22:47

STATEMENT SHE GAVE JUST

22:49

22:51

6 P.M. LONDON TIME.

22:51

THIS IS THE STATEMENT THAT THE

22:52

BRITISH PEOPLE ARE THAT THE

22:52

WHOLE HEARD AS PRINCESS

22:55

KATE DELIVERED THE NEWS THAT IS

22:59

BATTLING CANCER.

22:59

>> I WANT TO TAKE THIS

23:02

OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK

23:02

YOU PERSONALLY FOR ALL THE

23:03

WONDERFUL OF SUPPORT AND FOR

23:06

YOUR UNDERSTANDING ON.

23:07

I'VE BEEN RECOVERING SURGERY.

23:10

IT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLY TOUGH

23:14

COUPLE OF MONTHS FOR OUR ENTIRE

23:14

FAMILY.

23:15

BUT I'VE HAD A FANTASTIC

23:15

MEDICAL TEAM WHO HAVE TAKEN

23:18

GREAT CARE OF ME, FOR WHICH

23:19

I'M SO GRATEFUL.

23:21

IN JANUARY, I UNDERWENT MAJOR

23:22

SURGERY IN LONDON, AND AT

23:25

THE TIME IT WAS THOUGHT THAT MY

23:26

CONDITION WAS NON-CANCEROUS.

23:29

THE SURGERY WAS SUCCESSFUL.

23:33

HOWEVER, TESTS AFTER

23:34

THE OPERATION ON CANCER HAD

23:34

BEEN PRESENT.

23:37

MY MEDICAL TEAM THEREFORE

23:37

ADVISED THAT I SHOULD UNDERGO

23:41

COURSE OF PREVENTATIVE

23:41

CHEMOTHERAPY AND I'M NOW IN THE

23:42

EARLY STAGES THAT TREATMENT.

23:47

THIS, OF COURSE, CAME AS A

23:48

HUGE SHOCK.

23:48

AND WILLIAM AND HAVE BEEN DOING

23:51

EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PROCESS

23:52

AND MANAGE THIS PRIVATELY.

23:55

FOR THE SAKE OF OUR YOUNG

23:56

FAMILY, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE,

23:58

THIS HAS TAKEN TIME.

23:59

IT HAS TAKEN ME TIME TO FROM

24:02

MAJOR SURGERY IN ORDER TO START

24:03

MY TREATMENT.

24:06

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT HAS

24:07

TAKEN US TIME TO EXPLAIN

24:07

EVERYTHING GEORGE, CHARLOTTE

24:10

AND LOUIS IN A WAY THAT'S

24:11

APPROPRIATE FOR THEM AND TO

24:13

REASSURE THEM THAT I'M GOING

24:14

TO BE OKAY.

24:17

AS I'VE SAID TO THEM, I AM WELL

24:18

AND GETTING EVERY DAY

24:21

BY FOCUSING ON THE THINGS

24:22

THAT WILL HELP ME HEAL IN MY

24:25

BODY AND SPIRITS.

24:25

HAVING WILLIAM BY MY SIDE,

24:28

A GREAT SOURCE OF COMFORT

24:29

AND REASSURANCE TO AS THERE'S

24:32

A LOT OF SUPPORT AND KINDNESS

24:33

THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN BY SO MANY

24:34

OF YOU.

24:36

IT MEANS SO MUCH TRUST BECAUSE

24:39

WE WE HOPE THAT YOU

24:40

WILL UNDERSTAND THAT AS

24:42

A FAMILY, WE NOW NEED

24:43

SOME TIME, SPACE AND PRIVACY

24:43

WHILE.

24:45

I COMPLETE MY TREATMENT.

24:49

MY WORK HAS ALWAYS BROUGHT ME

24:50

A DEEP SENSE OF JOY AND I LOOK

24:53

FORWARD TO BEING BACK WHEN

24:53

I'M ABLE.

24:54

BUT FOR NOW, I MUST FOCUS

24:56

MAKING A FULL RECOVERY AT THIS

25:00

TIME.

25:01

I'M ALSO THINKING OF THOSE

25:01

WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED

25:04

BY CANCER.

25:05

FOR EVERYONE FACING THIS

25:05

DISEASE IN WHATEVER FORM,

25:08

PLEASE DO NOT LOSE FAITH OR.

25:12

>> YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

25:15

THE PRINCESS OF WALES AND, MUM

25:19

OF THREE YOUNG CHILDREN,

25:20

DELIVERING THE NEWS TO.

25:23

HER PEOPLE TO THE PEOPLE OF

25:23

GREAT BRITAIN AND THE

25:24

WORLD THAT SHE IS BATTLING.

25:27

I WANT TO GO BACK TO VICTORIA

25:28

MURPHY ON AND JUST VICTORIA,

25:28

YOU COVER IN ADDITION TO THE

25:31

OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL

25:31

FAMILY.

25:32

SO YOU HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF,

25:34

YOU KNOW, WHERE SHE IS.

25:35

I THOUGHT THAT THE STATEMENT

25:37

WAS FULL OF COURAGE, GENUINE

25:38

EMOTION.

25:38

>> THERE IS A SENSE OF JOY

25:42

IN HER DUTIES AND HER FAMILY,

25:45

BUT ALSO IT SEEMED THAT SHE WAS

25:45

SOMEWHAT DRAINED AND.

25:49

DRAWN.

25:49

IS THAT I AM I OVERSTATING

25:50

THE CASE?

25:50

WHAT DID YOU SEE?

25:52

>> WELL, I DEFINITELY THINK

25:53

THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF THAT

25:54

BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A VERY, VERY

25:57

DIFFICULT TIME FOR THEM

25:58

AS SHE'S HAD, YOU KNOW HAVING

26:00

COVERED THEM IN THE TIME.

26:01

I HAVE ONE OF THE THINGS

26:01

THAT I'VE REALLY COME TO LEARN

26:03

ABOUT HER IS THAT SHE DOES

26:04

HAVE A LOT OF INNER STRENGTH

26:07

AND.

26:08

SHE CAN BE VERY, VERY COOL

26:08

AND VERY, VERY CALM

26:09

ON THE OUTSIDE AND SHE SEEMS

26:12

TO HAVE THIS CAPACITY TO KIND

26:13

OF DRAW INSIDE AND FIND

26:16

THE STRENGTH FOR THINGS.

26:17

AND I THINK IT'S WHAT STOOD

26:17

HER IN GOOD STEAD FOR LOTS

26:20

OF UPS AND DOWNS THROUGHOUT

26:20

THE ROYAL FAMILY OVER THE YEARS

26:21

AND FOR THE OF THE SPOTLIGHT

26:23

AS WELL, WHICH IS A VERY

26:24

SIGNIFICANT THING AND I THINK

26:27

THIS COULD WELL BE THE BIGGEST

26:28

TEST SO FAR DEALING WITH THIS

26:31

INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING

26:31

PERSONALLY NEWS WHILE ALSO

26:32

HOLDING THE POSITION THAT SHE

26:34

HAS.

26:35

I MEAN SOMETHING THAT'S COME

26:35

ACROSS VERY STRONGLY TO ME

26:38

AND OVER THE COURSE OF THIS

26:38

IS JUST HOW MUCH SHE REALLY

26:39

WANTS PROTECT HER FAMILY.

26:42

AND THAT IS ABSOLUTELY

26:43

FUNDAMENTAL TO HER

26:45

THREE CHILDREN'S WELLBEING.

26:45

>> VICTORIA, YOU SO MUCH.

32:09

AND UPON THOSE

32:12

BEING ACCOMPLISHED,

32:13

33:01

CONTRIBUTOR.

33:06

DARIEN SUTTON.

33:09

MAGGIE, FIRST, LET ME BEGIN

33:09

WITH YOU.

33:10

IF YOU CAN SET THE SCENE FOR

33:13

PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN HEARING

33:14

ABOUT KATE FOR A WHILE AND,

33:17

YOU KNOW, THIS FURY ON SOCIAL

33:17

MEDIA, WHAT'S THE BIG MYSTERY.

33:21

33:21

WHAT LED TO THIS MOMENT?

33:24

>> YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'VE

33:25

BEEN FOLLOWING THIS STORY FOR

33:28

THERE'S BEEN SUCH A GLOBAL

33:29

CONCERN ABOUT KATE'S HEALTH.

33:32

YOU MENTIONED SORT OF THE

33:32

SOCIAL MEDIA FIRESTORM

33:33

ABOUT HER WHEREABOUTS GOING ON.

33:36

HOW IS SHE DOING?

33:37

AND NOW WE HAVE TODAY'S

33:37

ANNOUNCEMENT.

33:39

HONESTLY, I'M NOT SURE IF

33:40

ANYONE SAW THIS COMING

33:44

LISTENING TO HER,

33:51

BY HOW EMOTIONAL KATE IS

33:55

LISTEN TO THAT AND THE NEWS

BELOVED.

34:07

PEOPLE REALLY LOVE HER AND

34:07

HAVE GROWN UP WITH HER AS PART

34:08

OF THIS ROYAL FAMILY.

34:12

HEARTBROKEN OVER IT.

WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS.

34:20

ABDOMINAL IN JANUARY.

34:22

34:23

THAT WHILE AT THE TIME IT WAS

34:26

BELIEVED TO BE NON-CANCEROUS.

34:27

IT WAS IN POST-OPERATIVE TESTS

34:29

THAT IT CAME BACK.

34:30

THE CANCER HAD BEEN PRESENT.

34:30

SHE THEN SAID SHE HAD TO HAVE

34:33

TIME TO RECOVER FROM THAT MAJOR

34:34

SURGERY.

34:34

THEN SHE WENT IN TO START WITH

34:37

THE PALACE IS CALLING

34:38

PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY.

34:38

AS IN VICTORIA, THE PRIME

34:57

MINISTER OF U.K., RISHI SUNAK,

35:00

COMING FORWARD SAYING IN RECENT

35:00

WEEKS SHE'S BEEN TO INTENSE

35:03

SCRUTINY AND HAS BEEN UNFAIRLY

35:07

BY CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE

35:08

MEDIA AROUND THE WORLD AND ON

35:11

SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN IT COMES

35:12

TO MATTERS OF HEALTH.

35:12

LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, SHE MUST BE

35:13

AFFORDED THE PRIVACY TO FOCUS

35:16

ON HER TREATMENT AND BE

35:16

WITH HER LOVING FAMILY.

35:18

I, I SPEAK FOR THE WHOLE

35:19

COUNTRY IN WISHING HER A FULL

35:20

AND SPEEDY RECOVERY AND LOOK

35:20

FORWARD SEEING HER BACK

35:23

IN ACTION WHEN SHE'S READY.

35:23

JUST WANT TO FOLLOW UP VICTORIA

35:27

ON WHAT THE PRIME MINISTER

35:27

PRIME MINISTER SAID HERE THAT.

35:30

SHE WAS SUBJECTED TO INTENSE

35:31

SCRUTINY AND HAS BEEN UNFAIRLY

35:34

BY CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE

35:35

MEDIA AROUND THE WORLD.

35:35

>> I MEAN, THIS HAS BEEN A,

35:39

I THINK, A LEARNING CURVE FOR

35:41

FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY, BECAUSE

35:42

YOU HAD THE PHOTOSHOPPED

35:45

PICTURE WHICH CREATED

35:46

MORE QUESTIONS.

35:46

SHE HADN'T BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC,

35:50

WHICH CREATED MORE QUESTIONS.

35:50

SO SURE HER PRIVACY SHOULD

35:54

BE RESPECTED.

35:54

BUT THIS IS SOMEONE THAT A

35:57

HUGE PART OF THE WORLD LOVES

36:00

AND, YOU KNOW, LOVES HER LIKE

36:01

THEY LOVED PRINCESS DIANA.

36:04

THEY JUST THEY WANT TO KNOW

36:05

WHAT'S GOING ON.

36:05

SO SOMETIMES BEING TOO QUIET

36:09

CAN CAN CREATE SORT OF A WORSE

36:12

SITUATION.

36:12

>> AND I, YOU KNOW, PUT INTO

36:17

PERSPECTIVE AMERICANS HERE,

36:17

THEY WANT TO KNOW WHERE WE KNOW

36:20

THE BRITISH COULD BE A LITTLE

36:20

MORE PRIVATE AND SUBDUED.

36:23

BUT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT FOLKS

36:27

JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT SHE'S

36:30

OKAY.

36:30

>> KNOW, THAT'S INTERESTING

36:31

AND IT'S TRUE.

36:31

AND A LOT OF THE INTEREST

36:34

HAVE COME FROM A PLACE

36:34

OF PEOPLE GENUINELY CARING

36:35

AND REALLY WANTING TO KNOW

36:38

WHAT GOES ON.

36:38

AS YOU SAY, IN THE U.S.,

36:39

PEOPLE MIGHT BE MORE USED

36:41

HEARING THE SPECIFICS

36:41

OF MEDICAL DETAILS OF PEOPLE

36:45

WHO HOLD PUBLIC POSITIONS.

36:46

BUT OVER HERE, OUR ROYAL

36:46

FAMILY, THEY'RE NOT OBLIGED

36:49

TO RELEASE ANYTHING IN THIS

36:49

PRECEDENT ABOUT IT BEING OPEN,

36:50

ABOUT MEDICAL PROCEDURES, ALSO

36:53

DECIDING TO KEEP THINGS

36:54

PRIVATE.

36:54

AND, YOU KNOW, EVEN THE KING

36:54

HAS US.

36:56

HE'S HAD CANCER, BUT HE HASN'T

36:57

TOLD US WHAT KIND.

36:57

AND NOW KATE IS FOLLOWING

37:00

THAT PATH OF BEING OPEN UP TO A

37:01

POINT.

37:01

BUT SHE'S ALSO MAINTAINING

37:04

HER PRIVACY.

37:04

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAME

37:05

ACROSS TO ME TODAY WHEN I WAS

37:05

HEARING ABOUT THIS, THE FACT

37:08

THAT SHE HAD CANCER.

37:09

IT WAS, I THINK, KENSINGTON

37:12

PALACE AS SAYING THAT,

37:13

YOU KNOW, THAT THERE'S AN

37:13

EMPHASIS THERE THAT THIS

37:15

IS THIS ISN'T A REACTION, THIS

37:16

DECISION TO MAKE A STATEMENT

37:19

TO THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES

37:19

THAT HAVE BEEN SWIRLING.

37:20

THIS IS ABOUT HER DECIDING

37:23

HER OWN TIME TO TELL THE PUBLIC

37:24

IN A WAY THAT WAS RIGHT FOR

37:27

HER AND HER FAMILY ONCE SHE HAD

37:27

COME TO TERMS WITH IT.

37:28

AND IT WAS CLEARLY IMPORTANT

37:31

TO HER TO SIT THERE HERSELF

37:32

AND SAY THIS IN HER OWN AND TO

37:35

LIVE IT, TO DELIVER

37:36

THAT MESSAGE IN A VERY

37:36

CLEAR WAY.

37:36

AND OBVIOUSLY IS GOING TO PUT

37:38

THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES

37:39

TO BED.

37:39

THE FOOTAGE FILMED BY THE BBC,

37:42

IT WASN'T TAKEN BY ANYONE WHEN

37:46

ANY OF HER AIDES OR ANYTHING.

37:47

IT WAS INDEPENDENTLY FILMED

37:47

FOOTAGE.

37:48

AND SHE HAS BEEN CLEAR ABOUT

37:50

SENDING THAT MESSAGE HERSELF

37:51

ABOUT WHAT SHE IS NOW GOING

37:53

THROUGH.

37:53

>> RIGHT.

37:54

IN SOME WAYS, WHEN IT COMES

37:57

SOCIAL MEDIA, WE LIVE IN A VERY

37:58

DUMB AGE.

37:58

BUT THAT'S A GREAT POINT.

37:59

YOUR STORY ABOUT THE WAY SHE

38:02

BROUGHT THIS FOR AND I WANT

38:02

TO TAKE IT TO OUR DR.

38:03

DARIEN SUTTON, OUR MEDICAL

38:06

CORRESPONDENT.

38:06

>> WHILE THE ROYAL FAMILY'S

38:10

RETICENT IN SOME WAYS,

38:10

I THOUGHT DR. SUTTON THAT THAT

38:13

WAS A VERY FORTHCOMING

38:13

AND GENUINE STATEMENT

38:14

ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO THIS

38:16

DIAGNOSIS.

38:16

RIGHT.

38:17

SHE TALKED ABOUT THE SHOCK,

38:19

SOMETHING ALMOST REGISTERED

38:21

IN HER VICTORY.

38:21

SHE TALKED ABOUT HER STRENGTH.

38:22

YOU COULD SENSE, TOO.

38:24

AND I WONDER IF YOU COULD TALK

38:25

ABOUT HOW THOSE FIRST STAGES

38:27

AND HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE WHEN

38:28

SOMEBODY GETS A DIAGNOSIS.

38:31

THIS IT'S ALWAYS DIFFICULT FOR

38:32

EVERYONE INVOLVED.

38:32

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TALK

38:35

ABOUT FIRST STAGES OF A

38:35

DIAGNOSIS, I THINK

38:36

IT'S IMPORTANT TO DISCUSS

38:36

HOW THERE'S A COLLABORATE

38:39

OF EFFORT BETWEEN DIFFERENT

38:40

DEPARTMENTS WITHIN

38:40

THE HOSPITAL.

38:42

ONE OF THEM BEING, FOR EXAMPLE,

38:43

THE SURGEON.

38:43

BUT WE ALSO PROVIDE GET,

38:46

GET ASSISTANCE FROM

38:46

OUR RADIOLOGISTS WHO ARE ABLE

38:47

TO VIEW THESE IMAGES,

38:50

UNDERSTAND WHAT TO LOOK FOR

38:51

IN THE SURGERY, AND THEN

38:51

THE PATHOLOGISTS AFTER.

38:54

THAT PROCEDURE IS THE ONE WHO'S

38:54

LOOKING AT THE TISSUES AND THE

38:55

BIOPSIES TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE

38:58

IS A CANCER AND WHEN YOU HAVE

38:58

TO DELIVER TERRIBLE NEWS.

39:01

IT IS NEVER EASY.

39:02

IT IS NEVER, NEVER, NEVER AN

39:06

EASY TIME.

39:06

AND OFTEN PATIENTS USE THEIR

39:07

MOMENTS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS

39:09

DIAGNOSIS MEANS FOR NOT JUST

39:09

RIGHT NOW, BUT ALSO THE FUTURE.

39:13

AND THEN DEPENDING ON WHAT

39:13

THAT DIAGNOSIS IS, THAT WHAT

39:16

TYPE OF TREATMENT WE'RE GOING

39:17

TO DO WITHIN THIS THAT SHE HAS

39:20

MADE.

39:21

SHE TALKED A LOT

39:21

ABOUT PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY

39:24

IS RELATIVELY A SUBJECTIVE

39:25

STATEMENT.

39:25

IT CAN MEAN A VARIETY

39:25

OF THINGS, BUT COMMONLY

39:28

IT'S OFTEN DONE IN A WAY WHERE

39:29

YOU WANT TO REDUCE THE RISK

39:31

OF SOMETHING RECURRING OR

39:32

COMING BACK.

39:32

AND IN CERTAIN CASES,

39:36

THE SURGEON OR THE IN COLLEGES

39:36

HAS SUSPICION THAT THERE MIGHT

39:37

BE RESIDUAL CANCER.

39:39

THAT IS ANOTHER METHOD BY WHICH

39:40

PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY

39:43

BE UTILIZED.

39:44

AND THEN OF COURSE,

39:44

WHAT FOLLOWS AFTER THAT, IT'S A

39:45

IT'S A COURSE OF SCREENING

39:47

CONTINUOUS RECHECK TO MAKE SURE

39:50

THAT WHAT YOU'VE DONE

39:51

IS SUCCESSFUL AND TO RULE OUT

39:52

ANY SIGNS OF RECURRENCE SPREAD

39:55

.

39:55

>> SO, ROBERT, LET ME ASK

39:56

YOU THIS, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T

39:59

OFTEN HEAR FROM THE PRINCESS

39:59

DIRECTLY LIKE THIS, SO JUST

40:03

TALK TO US ABOUT THE

40:03

SIGNIFICANCE OF HER TELLING

40:06

US HERSELF AND VERY IN CASUAL

40:10

WEAR, SITTING OUTSIDE, CLEARLY

40:14

IN THE GARDEN.

40:14

I MEAN, IT'S -- IT'S VERY

40:17

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, SIMPLE

40:18

AND HUMBLING 2 MINUTES

40:21

OF REMARKS.

40:25

ABSOLUTELY.

40:25

BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS INCREDIBLY

40:27

COURAGEOUS TO DO THAT,

40:29

TO ACTUALLY FACE THE PUBLIC

40:29

IN THAT WAY.

40:30

I THINK ALL THE SPECULATION

40:32

ONLINE, SOME OF IT INCREDIBLY

40:33

SENSIBLE, THINK THAT SHE WAS

40:37

RIGHT TO ADDRESS IT PERSONALLY

40:38

SO PEOPLE COULD ACTUALLY LOOK

40:40

SEE HER, THAT SHE, AS SHE SAID,

40:41

I AM WELL I'M BEING TREATED.

40:44

AND ALSO TO BE ABLE TO RAISE

40:45

AWARENESS, TO CANCER SUFFERS

40:48

I THINK WAS A TREMENDOUSLY

40:49

BRAVE THING TO DO.

40:52

AND I THINK SHE DELIVERED IT

40:52

WITH APLOMB.

40:53

AND IT SHOWS THE STEELY SIDE

40:55

OF OF OF THE PRINCESS VICTORIA

40:56

WAS TALKING ABOUT EVERYONE,

41:00

ABOUT HER BEING A GENTLE

41:01

MOTHER OF THREE, THAT SHE'S

41:01

SUCH A KIND PERSON AND SHE

41:04

AND SHE'S DOING ALL OF THOSE

41:05

THINGS.

41:05

>> BUT SHE'S ALSO GOT A GREAT

41:07

ENGINE AND THAT SHE'S SOMEBODY

41:08

THAT JUST KEEPS GOING.

41:10

SHE'S VERY DETERMINED.

41:11

SHE'S VERY HARD WORKING.

41:11

AND I'M SURE AFTER THAT SHE

41:14

WILL BE BACK BECAUSE SHE HAS

41:15

THE THE POSITIVE MENTAL

41:18

ATTITUDE, REALLY, WHEN IT COMES

41:18

TO THESE THINGS.

41:19

WE KNOW THAT SHE'S BEEN OUT

41:23

TRYING TO SORT OF KEEP WALKING

41:23

AND KEEPING FIT.

41:24

BUT I THINK WHAT IMPORTANT HERE

41:25

IS THAT SHE WAS PUTTING

41:28

HER FAMILY FIRST.

41:29

AND SO THERE'S BEEN A BASICALLY

41:29

I'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH THIS,

41:32

I WANT MY PRIVACY.

41:33

I NEED TO BE SPENDING SOME TIME

41:35

WITH CHILDREN AND MY HUSBAND

41:36

AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC.

41:36

AND I THINK THAT WILL CERTAINLY

41:39

RESPECTED IN THIS COUNTRY.

41:40

I THINK ALSO FOR PRINCE WILLIAM

41:43

,THE PRINCE OF WALES AT THIS

41:44

TIME, HE'S GOT HIS FATHER

41:45

IS BEING TREATED FOR CANCER

41:48

NOW.

41:48

HIS WIFE, A LOT OF A LOT

41:49

OF RESPONSIBILITY IS GOING

41:49

TO BE ON HIS SHOULDERS.

41:51

THE HEIR TO THE THRONE AND A

41:52

LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY

41:54

IS ATTACHED TO DEALING WITH HIS

41:55

THREE KIDS.

41:55

SO, YOU KNOW, MY HEART GOES OUT

41:59

TO.

42:00

BUT THIS IS YOU KNOW, I'VE

42:00

COVERED THE ROYALS FOR ABOUT 30

42:02

ODD YEARS NOW.

42:02

AND I MEAN, I THINK WE HAVE TO

42:03

THINK OF THE OTHER CELEBRITIES

42:04

LIKE QUEEN ELIZABETH TALKED

42:05

ABOUT.

42:05

WELL, THIS IS RIGHT UP THERE

42:06

IN TERMS OF THE TERRIBLE

42:08

YEAR OF 2020, THE DIAGNOSIS

42:09

OF THE KING, AND NOW

42:13

44:41

NEWS COVERAGE OF CAMP

44:41

KATHERINE, THE PRINCESS

44:41

OF WALES REVEALING TO ALL OF US

44:44

AND THE WORLD THAT SHE HAS BEEN

44:45

DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.

44:48

THE PRINCESS IN A STATEMENT HAS

44:49

SAID SHE IS IN THE EARLY STAGES

44:52

OF PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY

44:53

TREATMENT NOW, WHICH SHE

44:53

STARTED LATE FEBRUARY.

44:55

SHE SAID TESTS FOLLOWING

44:56

ABDOMINAL SURGERY SHE HAD

44:59

BACK IN JANUARY 1ST REVEALED

45:00

THE CANCER.

45:02

SO FOR MORE, LET'S BRING IN OUR

45:03

WORLD CONTRIBUTOR

45:03

ROBERT JOBSON, WHO'S ALONGSIDE

45:06

OUR OTHER ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR

45:10

MURPHY, ALSO OUR MEDICAL

45:11

CORRESPONDENT, DR.

45:11

DARIEN SUTTON.

45:14

>> BUT ROBERT, LET'S GO FIRST

45:17

TO YOU.

45:18

>> JUST THE FACT THAT SHE CAME

45:21

FORWARD, SHE MADE THIS VIDEO,

45:22

SHE ADDRESSED EVERYBODY WAY.

45:25

SHE DID IT THE WAY THAT SHE

45:26

LOOKED.

45:26

IT WAS VERY SIMPLE, HUMBLE.

45:29

>> WAS THAT DO YOU THINK

45:30

THAT WAS HARD FOR HER TO DO?

45:36

OH, UNDOUBTEDLY.

45:36

IT MUST HAVE BEEN VERY

45:37

DIFFICULT FOR HER.

45:37

WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH YOUR

45:40

OWN MEDICAL CONDITION.

45:40

BUT I THINK SHE DID EXACTLY

45:41

THE RIGHT THING AFTER ALL THE

45:43

SPECULATION ONLINE AND ALL

45:44

THE NONSENSE THAT'S BEEN OUT

45:45

THERE, THE TRIALS IN SUCH A.

45:48

I THINK SHE JUST WANTED TO SHOW

45:48

PEOPLE THIS IS COMING FROM

45:51

HER IT WAS A STATEMENT FROM

45:52

THE HEART.

45:52

IT'S A STATEMENT ABOUT A

45:52

MEDICAL CONDITION.

45:54

BUT ALSO, I DO THINK

45:55

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT SHE

45:55

APPEALED FOR PRIVACY, HER AND

45:59

HER FAMILY, BECAUSE SHE'S GOT

46:00

THREE YOUNG KIDS AND, YOU KNOW,

46:00

THEY ARE WE MUST NOT LOSE SIGHT

46:03

OF THAT.

46:03

THEY ARE ROYALS.

46:04

AND SHE'S THE PRINCESS OF WALES

46:05

.

46:06

BUT WE MUST NOT LOSE SIGHT

46:06

OF THE HUMANITY HERE THAT SHE'S

46:07

GOT TO DEAL WITH THE CHILDREN

46:10

FIRST.

46:11

AND THAT IS SOMETHING

46:11

THAT REALLY DID COME ACROSS

46:12

IN THAT STATEMENT, ALSO THOUGHT

46:14

SHE WAS VERY, VERY BRAVE TO DO

46:15

WHAT SHE DID AND THE WAY SHE

46:15

DID IT WAS ALMOST DESTROYED.

46:20

AND I THINK THAT REALLY WAS

46:20

QUITE POWERFUL.

46:22

I DO FEEL FOR WILLIAM AT THE

46:23

MOMENT BECAUSE HE'S PUT A LOT

46:25

OF RESPONSIBILITY WITH HIS

46:26

FATHER, WHO IS OBVIOUSLY

46:27

BEING TREATED FOR CANCER NOW,

46:29

HIS WIFE AS WELL.

46:30

AND THE FOCUS OF ATTENTION

46:31

WILL BE ON TO SORT OF AND

46:35

OF COURSE, QUICK COMMITMENT

46:35

TO SORT OF CARRY THE THE WEIGHT

46:38

OF THE ROYAL FAMILY GOING

46:38

FORWARD.

46:39

>> ROBERT, YOU HAVE SAID IT DID

46:41

BRING A LOT TO YOUR THROAT,

46:42

HER HER VULNERABILITY

46:42

AND STRENGTH AT THE SAME TIME,

46:45

IT WAS IT WAS REMARKABLE.

46:46

I WANT TO GO BACK TO, VICTORIA,

46:49

ON ONE OF THINGS ROBERT JUST

46:49

BROUGHT UP SO THAT THE KING IS

46:52

LIVING WITH CANCER, FIGHTING

46:55

CANCER RIGHT NOW.

46:56

THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE DISRUPTION

46:59

YEAR, MORE IN THE ROYAL FAMILY

47:00

AND NOW THIS AND WONDER,

47:03

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THERE

47:03

ARE DUTIES THAT THE ROYAL

47:04

FAMILY HAS.

47:04

THE PEOPLE HAVE OF OF THE

47:07

UNITED KINGDOM AND THE

47:07

COMMONWEALTH LOOK TO THEM FOR

47:11

CERTAIN CEREMONIAL AND DEEPER

47:15

THAT THEY PERFORM FOR

47:15

THEIR PEOPLE.

47:15

>> HOW'S THAT GOING TO GO DOWN

47:18

?

47:19

>> WELL, I THINK THIS IS AN

47:19

INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT FOR

47:23

THE ROYAL FAMILY ON A PERSONAL

47:23

LEVEL BECAUSE THEY HAVE

47:26

TO PEOPLE IN THE FAMILY WHO ARE

47:26

NOW BEING TREATED FOR CANCER.

47:30

AND THEN ON A PROFESSIONAL

47:30

LEVEL, THIS FAMILY BUSINESS,

47:31

THE FIRM, AS WE CALL THEM,

47:34

THAT KEEPS THE SHOW

47:34

ON THE ROAD, THAT GETS MEMBERS

47:35

OF THE FAMILY OUT THERE

47:37

PERFORMING PUBLIC DUTIES,

47:37

BEING VISIBLE THROUGHOUT

47:39

EVERYTHING, ARE STRUGGLING

47:41

TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT IN

47:42

THE SAME WAY THAT THEY WERE FOR

47:45

NECESSARY REASONS, BECAUSE

47:45

PEOPLE ARE MEDICALLY UNABLE

47:46

TO DO THAT.

47:49

SO I THINK IT'S A REALLY

47:50

DIFFICULT TIME HERE.

47:50

THE ROYAL FAMILY HAS BECOME

47:51

SLIMMER IN RECENT

47:53

YEARS ACCIDENTALLY, BECAUSE

47:54

HARRY AND MEGHAN HAVE CHOSEN

47:54

TO LEAVE AND PRINCE ANDREW HAS

47:57

STEPPED DOWN.

47:58

SO THERE ARE VERY FEW WORKING

47:58

ROYALS NOT OUT AND ABOUT.

47:59

AND THE ONES ARE ARE BEING AS

48:00

BUSY AS POSSIBLE.

48:01

WE'VE SEEN CAMILLA CARRY OUT

48:02

VISITS TO ISLE OF MAN

48:04

TO NORTHERN IRELAND.

48:05

SHE'S GOT MOVIES COMING UP,

48:05

BUT THERE'S ONLY MUCH THAT THIS

48:08

SMALL NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS CAN

48:09

DO.

48:09

AND SO THE ABSENCE THE KING

48:11

AND THE PRINCESS OF WALES

48:12

PERFORMING PUBLIC DUTIES

48:15

DEFINITELY FELT VERY KEENLY.

48:16

THEY ARE THE KING IS TRYING

48:19

TO BE AS VISIBLE AS POSSIBLE

48:19

AND TO TRY TO STILL CARRY OUT

48:20

THE DUTIES HE CAN.

48:23

AND THAT'S BEEN VERY CLEAR ALL

48:24

ALONG.

48:24

BUT I THINK THE PRINCESS

48:26

OF WALES, I THINK SHE IS A

48:27

MOTHER WITH THREE YOUNG

48:28

CHILDREN AND SHE, I FEEL, MAKE

48:31

IT VERY CLEAR IN THIS MESSAGE

48:31

TODAY THAT HER FOCUS IS REALLY

48:34

GOING TO BE ON HER FAMILY

48:35

AND HER RECOVERY.

48:35

AND I THINK EVERYONE HERE WOULD

48:38

SAY ABSOLUTELY, IF THAT'S

48:39

WHAT SHE NEEDS TO DO, THEN

48:40

THAT IS WHAT SHE SHOULD DO.

48:41

>> MAGGIE RULLI YOU HAVE BEEN

48:42

COVERING THE ROYAL FAMILY

48:45

AS WELL FOR US FOR FOUR YEARS.

48:48

JUST GIVE US A SENSE OF THE

48:49

REACTION THERE, NOT ONLY AMONG

48:55

THE FOLKS THERE IN THE JUST

48:59

THAT ARE HEARING THE NEWS,

49:00

BUT EVEN IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITY,

49:00

YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD.

49:03

I MEAN THIS IS A PLACE WHERE

49:04

YOU LIVE AND YOU WORK AND KNOW

49:07

THERE IS AN AFFECTION CLEARLY

49:07

THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE FOR

49:08

THE ROYAL FAMILY.

49:10

TELL US HOW THEY'RE FEELING

49:11

ABOUT KATE AND WHAT SHE MEANS

49:12

TO THEM.

49:14

YEAH, WELL, I CAN TELL YOU,

49:15

EVEN JUST THE NEWSROOM, WE

49:17

HEARD THERE WAS A ROYAL

49:18

ANNOUNCEMENT HAPPENING TODAY.

49:19

I DON'T THINK ANY OF US THOUGHT

49:21

THIS WAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

49:22

AND WHEN IT CAME OUT

49:22

THAT PRINCESS KATE HAD BEEN

49:23

DIAGNOSED CANCER, I MEAN,

49:26

EVERYONE WAS JUST IN SHOCK

49:26

THAT KATE USED THAT SHOCK.

49:29

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE KEEP

49:30

SAYING.

49:30

I THINK IT CANNOT BE HOW

49:33

UNEXPECTED THIS REALLY WAS.

49:33

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE

49:36

PEOPLE OF LONDON IN THE U.K.

49:37

ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW.

49:37

PRINCESS CATHERINE, SO BELOVED

49:41

IN THIS COUNTRY.

49:41

SHE WAS CONSTANTLY RATED ONE OF

49:43

THE FAVORITE ROYALS.

49:44

IF YOU LOOK AT THE POLLING

49:45

OF ROYALS HERE THE U.K..

49:48

>> AND SO TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN

49:48

TO SOMEONE LIKE HER, SOMEONE

49:51

WAS SO YOUNG, 42 YEARS OLD,

49:51

THE MOTHER OF THREE YOUNG KIDS

49:54

UNDER THE AGE OF TEN, SOMEONE

49:54

WHO OFTEN WHEN SHE GOES OUT

49:57

ON ROYAL TOURS AND IT WAS SEEN

49:58

PLAYING SPORTS, SAID WANTS

50:01

TO KNOW ABOUT HER OUTFITS.

50:01

I MEAN, PEOPLE REALLY

50:02

HAVE LOOKED AT HER OVER

50:04

THE YEARS AND GROW UP WITH HER.

50:05

AND SHE'S DATED WILLIAM FOR SO

50:06

MANY YEARS BEFORE GETTING

50:08

MARRIED.

50:09

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS

50:10

TOUCHING A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE

50:10

IN THE U.K..

50:13

I THINK AS WE WATCH THAT VIDEO

50:14

AGAIN AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, IF

50:16

ROBERT AND VICTORIA BOTH SAY

50:17

HOW VULNERABLE SHE WAS,

50:17

HOW HUMBLING IT WAS, HOW REAL,

50:20

AND WHILE SHE WAS AN EMOTIONAL

50:21

AND I THINK THAT WILL RESONATE

50:23

WITH PEOPLE HERE AND HER FINAL

50:24

PARAGRAPH THAT FINAL PLEA

50:28

THAT SHE WANTS OTHER PEOPLE TO

50:29

KNOW WHO ARE ALSO DEALING

50:32

CANCER RIGHT NOW THAT THEY

50:32

ARE NOT ALONE.

50:33

YOU KNOW, I COULD ALSO SEE

50:33

HER REALLY USING THIS AS A

50:35

PLATFORM.

50:35

SHE MENTIONED THE JOY SHE FINDS

50:36

IN WORK.

50:36

AND WE KNOW THAT SHE'S USED

50:39

HER EXPERIENCES WITH KIDS SO

50:40

THAT SHE'S PASSIONATE ABOUT IN

50:40

THE PAST FOR HER CHARITIES,

50:43

PERHAPS THE CRUCIAL WORK

50:44

IN GOING FORWARD.

50:44

SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE

50:47

COUNTRY IS REALLY

50:48

WATCHING PRINCESS

50:48

CATHERINE RIGHT NOW AND THE

50:49

WHOLE FAMILY.

50:50

AND I THINK THAT THE TONE

50:51

IS GOING TO BE THAT'S QUITE

50:54

SOMBER NOW FOR SOME TIME

50:54

AND RESPECTFUL AND ENCOURAGING

50:58

AS WELL, MAGGIE.

50:58

ABSOLUTELY.

50:59

AND I WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT

50:59

OF THAT TO OUR DR.

51:02

DARIEN SUTTON.

51:02

SO PART OF THIS CARE THAT HER

51:06

PEOPLE AND PEOPLE AROUND

51:06

THE WORLD HAVE FOR IS,

51:07

YOU KNOW, HOW SHE DOING?

51:07

AND SHE DISCLOSED THIS BRAVELY

51:10

TO AN EXTENT.

51:10

RIGHT?

51:13

SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE HEARD,

51:13

WHICH SHE DIDN'T WANT, SHE

51:14

DIDN'T CHOOSE TO SHARE

51:16

THAT EXACT, PRECISE DIAGNOSIS,

51:16

BUT SHE DID TELL US THAT

51:19

THE TREATMENT THIS POINT

51:20

IS PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY.

51:24

>> WHAT'S THAT?

51:24

WHAT PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY

51:25

CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM

51:28

ONE PERSON TO THE NEXT,

51:28

DEPENDING ON WHAT THE DIAGNOSIS

51:29

IS.

51:31

SO COMMONLY, WHEN WE TALK

51:32

ABOUT PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY

51:33

IN A CLINICAL SENSE, IT OFTEN

51:35

MEANS, NUMBER ONE, WE'RE TRYING

51:36

TO PREVENT THE RISK

51:36

OF RECURRENCE, TRYING

51:39

TO PREVENT WHATEVER WAS REMOVED

51:40

FROM COMING BACK.

51:40

ALSO SOMETIMES THERE MIGHT BE A

51:43

MASS THAT IS REMOVED

51:44

AND THERE'S CONCERN THERE'S

51:47

RESIDUAL CANCER CELLS.

51:47

AND THAT IS ANOTHER INDICATION

51:50

A PATIENT MIGHT UNDERGO

51:51

PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY.

51:51

THERE'S ALSO QUESTIONS

51:54

ABOUT THE TYPE OF CHEMOTHERAPY

51:55

BECAUSE THAT ALSO DICTATES OR

51:56

KIND OF INDICATES WHAT KIND

51:58

OF PATH THAT PATIENT WILL TAKE.

51:59

YOU KNOW, WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE

52:00

TALKING ABOUT TARGETED

52:02

CHEMOTHERAPY OR WE'RE TALKING

52:02

ABOUT MORE GENERAL CHEMOTHERAPY

52:05

,THESE FACTORS ARE IMPORTANT

52:06

TO KNOW FOR THE PATIENT

52:06

TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TO EXPECT.

52:09

BUT REGARDLESS OF ALL OF THIS,

52:10

AS WE YOU'RE SAYING, SUPPORT

52:11

IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR

52:13

HERE.

52:13

YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO RELATE

52:14

TO THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

52:14

WHO ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME

52:17

PROCESS OR A SIMILAR PROCESS

52:18

TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT

52:18

JUST ABOUT LIVING BUT THRIVING

52:21

IN THAT MOMENT, UNDERSTANDING

52:22

HOW TO FIND THAT SOCIAL SUPPORT

52:24

THAT YOU CAN REACH OUT WHEN

52:25

YOU NEED TO, BECAUSE THIS

52:25

IS THE PATH THAT IS.

52:28

IT'S NOT A SPRINT.

52:29

THIS IS A MARATHON.

52:29

SO, ROBERT, LET ME ASK YOU,

52:32

YOU KNOW, THERE WAS HOPE

52:36

THAT THOSE THERE IN LONDON,

52:37

EVEN ACROSS THE WORLD, WOULD

52:37

SEE HER ON WITH HER FAMILY.

52:40

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS THIS

52:44

STATEMENT.

52:44

AND NOW SHE IS GOING TO BE

52:47

WORKING ON HER RECOVERY AND HER

52:48

TREATMENT.

52:48

IT DOESN'T LIKE WE ARE GOING

52:52

TO SEE HER OUT AND ABOUT FOR

52:52

SOME TIME.

52:52

HOW WILL HER DUTIES CHANGE?

52:59

>> WELL, SHE HAS BEEN SPOTTED

53:00

OUT AND ABOUT, OTHER THAN JUST

53:01

THAT ONE VIDEO WE SAW A COUPLE

53:02

OF DAYS AGO.

53:07

AND HAS BEEN SEEN IN WINDSOR.

53:07

SO SHE'S GOING ABOUT HER

53:08

BUSINESS.

53:08

BUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN, THINK,

53:09

IS THERE'S NO WAY THAT SHE'LL

53:10

BE AT THAT.

53:10

I CAN'T SEE IT ANYWAY,

53:13

THE EASTER GATHERING, I MEAN,

53:14

THINGS THAT PROBABLY THE FAMILY

53:17

ARE GOING TO HAVE A BREAK AWAY

53:18

FROM THE PUBLIC EYE.

53:19

THERE WAS TALK THAT SHE'LL

53:19

BE BACK BY THE MIDDLE OF APRIL

53:21

PERHAPS, BUT I CAN'T SEE

53:21

THAT HAPPENING NOW.

53:21

BUT CLEARLY SHE HAS TO FOCUS

53:24

ON GETTING WELL AND SPENDING

53:24

TIME WITH THE CHILDREN AND THE

53:28

HUSBAND.

53:28

AND I THINK IT WAS A CLEAR

53:29

MESSAGE.

53:29

AND BY GIVING THIS VIDEO

53:32

AND SHARING THIS VIDEO THAT SHE

53:33

EXPECTS HER PRIVACY AND IS BEST

53:36

TO BE OFF LIMITS NOW UNTIL

53:39

SHE'S TO COME BACK.

53:40

AND I THINK THIS IS IN MANY

53:44

WAYS BECAUSE SOME OF

53:45

THE QUESTIONS HAVE NOT REALLY

53:45

BEEN ANSWERED.

53:46

THERE'S TO START A WHOLE

53:47

NEW WAVE OF PEOPLE CHATTERING

53:48

ONLINE, ETC., WHICH IS GOING

53:48

TO BE A PROBLEM.

53:51

BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING

53:52

THAT SHE WILL PUT BEHIND

53:54

THE SHE'LL FOCUS ON WHAT

53:55

SHE'S GOT TO DO, WHICH

53:55

IS GETTING WELL, DEALING

53:56

WITH THE MEDICAL CONDITION

53:59

AND LOOKING AFTER HER CHILDREN.

54:00

I DON'T I DON'T SEE WE CAN WE

54:03

CAN EXPECT TO SEE THAT IN

54:04

PUBLIC JUST FOR SEVERAL MONTHS

54:04

NOW.

54:06

AND THAT'S WHAT ROBERT JUST

54:07

SAID.

54:07

I'D LIKE TO TAKE

54:10

TO VICTORIA MURPHY.

54:10

SO, VICTORIA, THIS IS A FAMILY

54:11

THAT HAS BEEN THROUGH AN INSANE

54:13

EPIC EPISODE OF SPECULATION

54:17

ONLINE AND PEOPLE CASUALLY

54:20

TAKING, YOU KNOW, THEIR LIVES,

54:21

THEIR INTEREST THEIR KIDS,

54:24

THEIR THEIR PAST, YOU KNOW,

54:25

JUST IN PEDDLING IT AROUND

54:28

WITH THESE WILD THEORIES.

54:32

>> IT WAS IN MY FAMILY.

54:33

I'D I'D BE REALLY ANGRY

54:35

ABOUT THAT.

54:36

HOW ARE THEY HANDLING THIS?

54:39

AND ALTHOUGH ROBERT SAID LOOK

54:39

THIS COULD TOUCH OUT YET

54:41

ANOTHER ONE.

54:42

>> DO YOU THINK THAT THE MOOD

54:42

CHANGES AROUND THE GAME

54:46

SHOW THAT THE ROYAL FAMILY'S

54:46

LIVES HAVE BECOME SINCE SINCE

54:50

SHE WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL?

54:51

>> CERTAINLY.

54:51

YOU THINK THE HAS CHANGED

54:53

TODAY.

54:53

I MEAN, FOR A START, RELEASING

54:54

THAT VIDEO FILMED BY THE

54:58

BBC DON'T REALLY SEE HOW ANYONE

54:59

CAN PERSIST WITH THESE

54:59

CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT HAVE

55:01

BEEN SO RIFE ONLINE AFTER THAT.

55:02

AND I THINK THAT WAS VERY

55:02

IMPORTANT TO HER TO SAY THIS

55:05

IN HER OWN WORDS, TO BE SEEN

55:06

VERY CLEARLY AND TO BE VERY

55:06

DIRECT.

55:09

BUT, YOU KNOW, MY UNDERSTANDING

55:10

IS THAT ONE OF THE REASONS FOR

55:11

THE TIMING OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

55:13

WAS BECAUSE THEIR CHILDREN,

55:13

GEORGE, CHARLOTTE AND LOUIS,

55:14

HAVE NOW BROKEN UP FROM SCHOOL

55:17

FOR THE EASTER HOLIDAYS.

55:17

AND SO THEY ARE NOW ABLE TO BE

55:18

WITH THEIR CHILDREN, TAKE THEM

55:21

AWAY, HAVE TIME TOGETHER AS A

55:22

FAMILY, BE IN A BUBBLE,

55:25

AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE NOT

55:25

GOING TO BE GOING TO SCHOOL,

55:26

WATCHING, TALKING TO OTHER

55:28

PEOPLE AS THIS NEWS IS KIND

55:29

OF HITTING THE WORLD.

55:30

SO THIS TIMING, I THINK,

55:32

IS ACTUALLY ABOUT PROTECTING

55:32

THEIR CHILDREN, WHICH

55:33

IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THEM.

55:35

>> MM-HMM.

55:36

AND MAGGIE, I UNDERSTAND

55:36

THAT PRINCE WILLIAM NOW PUT OUT

55:38

A STATEMENT JUST BY COURIER.

55:42

YEAH, THE KING ACTUALLY JUST

55:43

RELEASED A STATEMENT, WHICH

55:46

IS TELLING BECAUSE BOTH

55:47

THE KING AND KATE WERE

55:50

IN HOSPITAL TOGETHER, IF

55:51

YOU GUYS REMEMBER, THEY BOTH

55:51

WENT IN FOR SURGERY AROUND

55:52

THE SAME TIME WE KNOW AFTER

55:55

A SURGERY, THE KING WAS ALSO

55:56

DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.

55:58

SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS IS A

55:59

VERY CLOSE TIME FOR.

56:01

THE FAMILY RIGHT NOW TO BE

56:02

GOING THROUGH THESE JOINT

56:02

TRAGEDIES TOGETHER.

56:03

I WANT TO READ THE STATEMENT

56:06

FOR YOU NOW.

56:06

>> IT JUST CAME OUT MOMENTS

56:07

AGO.

56:07

SO THE MAJESTY IS SO PROUD

56:10

OF CATHERINE FOR HER COURAGE

56:10

IN SPEAKING AS SHE DID

56:13

FOLLOWING THEIR TIME

56:13

IN HOSPITAL TOGETHER.

56:14

HIS MAJESTY HAS REMAINED

56:15

IN CLOSE WITH HIS BELOVED

56:16

DAUGHTER-IN-LAW THROUGHOUT

56:17

THE PAST WEEKS.

56:17

BOTH THEIR MAJESTIES

56:20

WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER

56:21

THEIR LOVE AND SUPPORT TO THE

56:21

FAMILY THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT

56:25

TIME.

56:25

YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE TALKED

56:28

ABOUT HOW WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING

56:29

THE ROYAL FAMILY FOR YEARS.

56:29

THERE'S OBVIOUSLY BEEN SO MUCH

56:32

TURMOIL IN THE ROYAL FAMILY

56:32

IN RECENT YEARS.

56:33

BUT TRAGEDIES OFTEN A TIME

56:36

THAT CAN BRING FAMILIES

56:36

TOGETHER.

56:37

AND THE FACT THAT BOTH THE KING

56:37

AND THE PRINCESS WALES

56:39

ARE GOING THROUGH CANCER AT THE

56:40

SAME TIME, LIKE, I MEAN, NOT

56:44

ONLY COULD THAT BRING THEM

56:44

CLOSER, PERHAPS THE WHOLE

56:46

FAMILY AND I THINK IT WILL BE

56:47

REALLY INTERESTING TO WATCH

56:47

BOTH OF THEIR RECOVERIES,

56:51

THEIR RESPONSE TO IT, AND WHAT

56:51

IT MEANS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.

56:54

MAGGIE, THANK YOU, VICTORIA,

WHICH SHE STARTED IN LATE

60:22

FEBRUARY.

60:22

HERE'S HER WHAT SHE HAD SAY.

60:31

>> I WANT TO TAKE THIS

60:32

OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK

60:34

YOU PERSONALLY FOR ALL THE

60:35

WONDERFUL MESSAGES OF SUPPORT

60:37

AND FOR UNDERSTANDING ON SITE,

60:39

BEING RECOVERING FROM SURGERY.

60:42

IT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLY TOUGH

60:43

COUPLE OF MONTHS FOR,

60:46

OUR ENTIRE FAMILY.

60:46

BUT I'VE HAD A FANTASTIC

60:46

MEDICAL TEAM WHO HAVE TAKEN

60:49

GREAT CARE OF ME, FOR WHICH

60:50

I'M SO GRATEFUL.

60:52

IN JANUARY, I UNDERWENT MAJOR

60:53

ABDOMINAL SURGERY IN LONDON,

60:56

AND AT THE TIME IT WAS THOUGHT

60:57

THAT MY CONDITION WAS

60:58

NON-CANCEROUS.

61:01

THE SURGERY WAS SUCCESSFUL,

61:01

HOWEVER, TESTS AFTER

61:05

THE OPERATION FOUND CANCER HAD

61:05

BEEN PRESENT.

61:08

MY MEDICAL TEAM THEREFORE

61:08

ADVISED THAT I SHOULD UNDERGO

61:12

A COURSE OF PREVENTATIVE

61:12

CHEMOTHERAPY AND I'M NOW IN THE

61:13

EARLY STAGES OF THAT TREATMENT

61:18

.

61:18

THIS, OF COURSE, CAME AS A

61:19

HUGE SHOCK AND WILLIAM AND HAVE

61:22

BEEN DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN

61:22

TO PROCESS AND MANAGE THIS

61:23

PRIVATELY FOR THE SAKE OF OUR

61:26

YOUNG FAMILY.

61:26

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS HAS

61:30

TAKEN TIME.

61:30

IT HAS TAKEN ME TIME TO RECOVER

61:33

FROM MAJOR SURGERY IN ORDER

61:34

TO START MY TREATMENT.

61:35

BUT MOST IT HAS TAKEN US TIME

61:38

TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO GEORGE

61:41

CHARLOTTE AND LOUIS IN A WAY

61:41

THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THEM

61:44

AND, TO REASSURE THEM THAT I'M

61:45

GOING TO BE OKAY.

61:49

AS I'VE SAID TO THEM, I AM

61:50

WELL, I'M GETTING STRONGER

61:50

EVERY BY FOCUSING ON THE THINGS

61:52

THAT WILL HELP ME HERE IN MY

61:53

MIND, BODY SPIRITS.

61:56

HAVING WILLIAM BY MY SIDE IS A

61:57

GREAT SOURCE, COMFORT

62:00

AND REASSURANCE TO ADD TO THE

62:01

LOVE SUPPORT, KINDNESS THAT HAS

62:04

BEEN SHOWN BY SO MANY OF YOU.

62:05

IT MEANS SO MUCH TRUST, FAITH.

62:10

THEY HOPE THAT YOU

62:10

WILL UNDERSTAND THAT AS

62:11

A FAMILY, WE NOW NEED

62:14

SOME TIME, SPACE AND PRIVACY.

62:15

WHILE I COMPLETE MY TREATMENTS

62:20

.

62:20

MY WORK HAS ALWAYS BROUGHT ME

62:21

A DEEP SENSE OF JOY AND.

62:24

I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING

62:25

BACK WHEN I'M ABLE.

62:25

BUT FOR NOW, I MUST.

62:27

ON MAKING A FULL RECOVERY

62:31

AT THIS TIME.

62:32

I'M ALSO THINKING OF ALL THOSE

62:32

WHOSE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED

62:35

BY CANCER.

62:36

FOR EVERYONE FACING, THIS

62:38

DISEASE, IN WHATEVER FORM,

62:39

PLEASE DO NOT LOSE OR HATE.

62:43

>> YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

62:46

FOR MORE, LET'S BRING IN OUR

62:47

ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR, VICTORIA

62:49

MURPHY, AND OUR MEDICAL

62:50

CORRESPONDENT, DR.

62:51

DARIEN SUTTON VICTORIA.

62:53

AFTER ALL THESE MONTHS

62:54

OF SPECULATION ABOUT KATE'S

62:57

HEALTH AND QUITE THE REACTION

63:01

NOT ONLY FROM LONDON BUT ACROSS

63:02

THE WORLD TO HER CANCER

63:05

DIAGNOSIS.

63:05

>> WELL, I THINK ESPECIALLY

63:06

BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT CHOSEN

63:09

TO ANNOUNCE IT IN THIS VERY

63:10

PERSONAL, VERY DIRECT MESSAGE.

63:13

AND I THINK IT'S VERY DIFFICULT

63:14

TO WATCH THAT MESSAGE AND NOT

63:14

FEEL EMOTIONAL.

63:17

SHE'S CLEARLY BEING VERY BRAVE.

63:17

SHE'S CLEARLY SHOWING WHAT COME

63:20

TO RECOGNIZE IS THAT REALLY

63:21

KIND OF COOL EXTERIOR, STAYING

63:24

VERY CALM.

63:25

BUT I THINK YOU CAN TELL

63:25

IN WATCHING THAT JUST

63:28

HOW DIFFICULT THIS HAS BEEN FOR

63:29

HER, AS SHE SAYS, AND I THINK

63:30

FOR HER NOW, THIS IS ALL

63:32

ABOUT PROTECTING HER FAMILY.

63:33

THE TIMING OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

63:34

HAS BEEN TIMES SO

63:37

THAT CHARLOTTE AND LOUIS,

63:37

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE GOING

63:38

TO SCHOOL NOW.

63:38

THEY'RE BREAKING UP FOR EASTER

63:40

HOLIDAY AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE

63:40

HAVING TIME TOGETHER AS A

63:43

FAMILY.

63:44

I THINK ALSO WHAT IT ALSO DOES

63:44

IS IT ALSO ANSWERS THESE

63:45

QUESTIONS ABOUT.

63:48

WHEN WILL WE SEE HER NEXT,

63:48

WHICH HAD STARTED TO KIND

63:49

OF BUILD IN PACE BECAUSE.

63:52

THERE WAS THE YESTERDAY SERVICE

63:53

WHEN MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL

63:53

FAMILY COME OUT WHEN SUNDAY

63:56

AND THERE WAS A LOT

63:56

OF ANTICIPATION BUILDING.

63:56

ARE WE GOING TO SEE HER THAT

63:59

AND THIS KIND OF PRESSURE, IF

64:00

YOU LIKE, ON WHEN IS SHE GOING

64:00

TO COME BACK TO PUBLIC LIFE?

64:03

AND I THINK IN PUTTING

64:03

THAT STATEMENT OUT AND MAKING

64:04

IT VERY CLEAR THAT SHE NEEDS

64:06

TIME TO FOCUS ON HER FAMILY.

64:07

WE'RE NOW HEARING, YOU KNOW,

64:11

JUST AFTER EASTER SUNDAY

64:11

THAT SHE'S COMING BACK JUST

64:14

AFTER EASTER DOES NOT SEEM

64:14

TO BE THE CASE ANYMORE, IS NOW

64:15

GOING TO BE WHEN SHE FEELS CAN

64:18

WHEN DOCTORS ADVISE SHE CAN.

64:18

BUT WE UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT

64:21

A LOT MORE FOR THAT BECAUSE

64:22

OF THIS PERSONAL MESSAGE.

64:25

>> AND DR. CERTAIN BUCKINGHAM

64:25

PALACE IS NOT SAYING WHAT TYPE

64:29

OF CANCER THE PRINCESS HAS.

64:29

SHE CHOSE NOT TO SHARE

64:30

THAT DETAIL.

64:32

WE KNOW THAT SHE DID GO UNDER,

64:33

UNDERGO ABDOMINAL SURGERY

64:34

ON JANUARY 16TH, THAT THE

64:37

CANCER WAS DISCOVERED IN TESTS

64:37

AFTER.

64:41

AND NOW SHE'S GOING THROUGH

64:41

PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY.

64:43

SO WHEN YOU HEAR THAT, WHAT DO

64:45

YOU MAKE OF THAT?

64:46

>> WELL, TERRY,

64:46

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE WIDE WHEN

64:48

YOU TALK ABOUT ABDOMINAL

64:48

SURGERY.

64:49

THAT CAN INCLUDE ANYTHING BELOW

64:52

YOUR STERNUM ALL THE WAY DOWN

64:52

TO THE PELVIS.

64:53

AND SO THE TYPES OF CANCERS CAN

64:56

BE INCLUDED IN THAT INCLUDE

64:56

THINGS SUCH AS STOMACH CANCER,

64:59

COLON CANCER, LIVER CANCER,

65:00

AS WELL AS UTERINE AND OVARIAN

65:01

CANCERS.

65:04

SO THERE'S A WIDE VARIETY

65:04

OF PROBLEMS AND TYPES, CANCERS

65:07

THAT CAN COME AND BE WITHIN

65:08

THE ABDOMEN.

65:08

NOW, OF COURSE, WE DON'T KNOW

65:11

AS WE RESPECT HER PRIVACY,

65:12

BUT THEN WHAT FOLLOWS THAT IS

65:14

WHAT SPECIFIC CANCER IT IS AND

65:14

THEN WHAT NECESSARY TREATMENT

65:15

GOES THAT.

65:18

>> WE UNDERSTAND THAT SHE'S

65:19

GETTING PREVENTATIVE

65:19

CHEMOTHERAPY NOW, WHAT THAT

65:22

LOOKS LIKE IN THE FUTURE, WE'RE

65:23

JUST WE JUST DO NOT KNOW.

65:25

BUT I'M SURE THAT SHE'LL

65:26

HAVE LIKELY REPETITIVE

65:27

SCREENING EXAMS TO SEE IF

65:30

THE INITIAL EVENT OF SURGERY

65:30

AND THE CHEMOTHERAPY WERE

65:31

SUCCESSFUL TO RULE ANY RISK

65:34

OF RECURRENCE AND TO MAKE SURE

65:35

THAT SHE'S AS HEALTHY

65:37

AS POSSIBLE.

65:37

>> SO, VICTORIA, THIS IS COMING

65:38

AT A TIME WHERE KING CHARLES

65:41

IS ALSO BEING TREATED FOR

65:41

CANCER.

65:42

>> I MEAN, THIS IS PRETTY

65:45

EXTRAORDINARY MOMENT FOR

65:45

THE ROYAL FAMILY AND THE

65:46

BRITISH PEOPLE.

65:48

>> I MEAN, IT FEELS COMPLETELY

65:49

EXTRAORDINARY.

65:49

WE'VE NEVER HAD LIKE THIS.

65:52

THIS IS A COMPLETELY

65:53

UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION.

65:56

AND IT DOES FEEL IN A WAY KIND

65:59

OF DESTABILIZING, BECAUSE

65:59

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE

66:00

MONARCHY PROVIDES IS THIS KIND

66:01

OF CONTINUITY.

66:03

AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN MEMBERS

66:04

OF THE FAMILY ARE ILL,

66:04

IT'S COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE

66:06

THAT THEY JUST CANNOT BE OUT

66:07

THERE DOING THESE DUTIES

66:07

AND BEING SEEN AND BEING

66:10

AND PERFORMING IN THE WAY

66:10

THAT WE'RE USED TO SEEING THEM

66:11

PERFORM.

66:14

>> AND I THINK THIS

66:15

IS DIFFICULT FOR THEM BECAUSE

66:15

ON A PERSONAL LEVEL,

66:16

IT'S DIFFICULT.

66:18

YOU'VE GOT FAMILY MEMBERS

66:19

WHO ARE ILL AND HAVE RECEIVED

66:20

SHOCK NEWS AND.

66:21

THEY'RE ALL COMING TO TERMS

66:22

WITH THAT AND TRYING TO PROTECT

66:23

THE CHILDREN AS WELL.

66:23

AND THEN THE PROFESSIONAL

66:25

LEVEL, THE MONARCHY IS JUST

66:26

UNABLE TO PERFORM RIGHT NOW.

66:30

THE LEVEL OF DUTIES THAT WE

66:30

HAVE BEEN USED TO SEEING

66:31

AND PERFORMING.

66:31

AND THAT'S JUST NO WAY

66:33

THAT THEY CAN GET OUT THERE

66:34

AND BE INVISIBLE AS THEY

66:34

HAVE BEEN IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

66:36

>> AND WE ARE RECEIVING

66:37

A NUMBER OF STATEMENTS AS THE

66:40

NEWS HAS COME FORWARD

66:43

AND PRINCESS KATE HAS HAS PUT

66:45

OUT THAT THAT STATEMENT, THIS

66:47

ONE COMING FROM THE KING

66:48

HIMSELF, BUCKINGHAM

66:51

ACTUALLY RELEASED THIS.

66:52

HIS MAJESTY IS SO PROUD

66:52

OF CATHERINE FOR HER COURAGE

66:55

AND SPEAKING AS SHE DID

66:56

FOLLOWING THEIR TIME

66:56

IN HOSPITAL TOGETHER.

66:59

HIS MAJESTY HAS REMAINED IN THE

67:00

CLOSEST CONTACT, HIS BELOVED

67:03

DAUGHTER-IN-LAW THROUGHOUT

67:04

THE PAST WEEKS.

67:04

BOTH THEIR WILL CONTINUE

67:06

TO OFFER THEIR LOVE AND SUPPORT

67:07

TO THE WHOLE FAMILY THROUGH

67:10

THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

67:11

VICTORIA TALKED TO US ABOUT THE

67:14

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE KING

67:15

AND PRINCESS KATE.

67:18

>> WELL, I THINK THE LANGUAGE

67:19

IN THAT STATEMENT REALLY SAYS

67:20

IT ALL.

67:22

YOU KNOW THIS IS THE KING.

67:22

THIS IS SOMEONE WHO'S HEAD

67:23

OF STATE.

67:23

HE RELEASED HIS MESSAGES ON A

67:24

REGULAR BASIS, AND THE TONE

67:26

OF THIS MESSAGE IS COMPLETELY

67:27

DISTINCT.

67:29

PERSONAL.

67:30

IT'S SO HEARTFELT.

67:30

YOU CAN TELL JUST HOW MUCH

67:33

WANTS TO GET ACROSS IN THIS

67:33

MESSAGE, HOW MUCH OF A BOND

67:37

HE HAS WITH DAD, HOW STRONGLY

67:38

HE FEELS ABOUT HER, AND,

67:38

YOU KNOW, HOW DEVASTATED

67:41

AND THIS HAS BEEN FOR ALL OF

67:41

THEM.

67:41

AND I'VE SEEN OVER THE YEARS,

67:42

YOU KNOW, WITNESS THIS

67:45

RELATIONSHIP KIND OF BUILDING

67:45

BETWEEN THE CAMBRIDGES

67:49

THEY ONCE WERE AND PRINCE

67:49

CHARLES AND CAMILLA AND SEEING

67:50

THEM CARRY OUT ENGAGEMENTS

67:52

TOGETHER, SEEING THEM INTERACT

67:52

TOGETHER ON THE PUBLIC STAGE

67:55

AND SEEING WILLIAM AND KATE

67:56

ALSO BE THIS KIND OF VERY

67:57

STABLE PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT

68:00

TO CHARLES AND CAMILLA AS THEY

68:00

HAVE BECOME KING QUEEN.

68:04

AND WE REALLY SAW THAT IN

68:04

EVIDENCE AT THE CORONATION LAST

68:05

MAY.

68:08

AND SO I THINK IT'S A VERY,

68:08

VERY HEARTFELT PERSONAL MESSAGE

68:11

FROM THE KING, VERY DIFFERENT

68:12

IN TONE TO A LOT OF THE

68:14

MESSAGES THAT HE RELEASES

68:15

AND DONE DELIBERATELY.

68:15

SO JUST ON A PERSONAL HOW MUCH

68:19

THIS MEANS TO HIM, YOU CAN SAY

68:20

THAT.

68:20

>> AND HE IS THE OF THIS FAMILY

68:22

AND OBVIOUSLY SOVEREIGN OF HIS

68:23

COUNTRY PEOPLE AND HAS A LOT

68:26

OF WORK TO DO, YOU KNOW, ACROSS

68:29

THAT THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES

68:30

AND DR. SUTTON I WANT TO GO

68:33

TO YOU ON SOMETHING THAT THE

68:34

PRINCESS SAID IN HER STATEMENT

68:37

THAT SHE DELIVERED.

68:37

SHE SAID, I AM WELL AND THIS

68:41

IS WHAT SHE SAYS SHE TOLD

68:42

HER CHILDREN AS WELL.

68:42

I AM WELL AND GETTING STRONGER

68:45

EVERY DAY BY FOCUSING

68:46

ON THE THINGS THAT WILL HELP ME

68:49

IN, MY MIND, BODY AND SPIRITS.

68:49

BRITISH FAMOUS HAVING A STIFF

68:53

UPPER LIP.

68:53

BUT -- BUT THERE IS MEDICAL

68:57

TRUTH AND GROUNDING IN WHAT

68:57

SHE'S SAYING, ISN'T THERE?

69:00

THAT THAT A RECOVERY FROM

69:00

CANCER IS A FULL ON, FULL

69:01

PERSON JOB?

69:04

ABSOLUTELY.

69:04

THAT MIND BODY CONNECTION IS SO

69:05

VITAL AND SO IMPORTANT.

69:08

AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY

69:09

IT'S PHYSICIANS WE ALWAYS

69:11

RECOMMEND REACH OUT FOR

69:11

SUPPORT, WHETHER THAT BE

69:12

WITH THEIR OWN FAMILY AND THEIR

69:15

FRIENDS OR JUST

69:16

WITH PRESCRIPTION THERAPY OR,

69:18

WITH GROUP THERAPY.

69:18

YOU KNOW, THESE METHODS

69:19

ARE NEEDED BECAUSE THEY HELP

69:20

PROVIDE LEVEL OF SUPPORT

69:22

THAT EMOTIONALLY IS SO

69:23

IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE.

69:26

FIGHTING THIS FIGHT ALONE

69:27

IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT.

69:27

SO I CAN IMAGINE SHE'S PROBABLY

69:30

SURROUNDED BY THOSE WHO LOVE

69:30

HER.

69:30

SHE HAS THE SUPPORT OF HER

69:33

FAMILY AND SHE'S OBVIOUSLY

69:34

A COURAGEOUS AND STRONG WOMAN.

69:34

SO I WISH NOTHING BUT THE BEST.

69:37

>> ANOTHER STATEMENT COMING

69:40

IN FROM RISHI SUNAK, THE PRIME

69:44

MINISTER OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.

69:45

SHE HAS SHOWN TREMENDOUS

69:45

BRAVERY WITH.

69:48

HER STATEMENT TODAY.

69:49

IN RECENT WEEKS, SHE HAS BEEN

69:49

SUBJECTED TO INTENSE AND HAS

69:52

BEEN UNFAIRLY TREATED

69:52

BY CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE

69:53

MEDIA AROUND THE WORLD AND ON

69:56

SOCIAL MEDIA.

69:56

WHEN IT COMES TO MATTERS HEALTH

69:59

LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

70:00

SHE MUST BE AFFORDED

70:01

THE PRIVACY TO FOCUS ON HER

70:03

TREATMENT AND BE WITH HER

70:04

LOVING FAMILY.

70:04

I KNOW I SPEAK THE WHOLE

70:06

COUNTRY IN WISHING HER A FULL

70:07

AND SPEEDY RECOVERY AND LOOK

70:10

FORWARD TO SEEING HER BACK

70:10

IN ACTION WHEN SHE'S READY.

70:11

>> YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE

70:14

THE MEDIA SCRUTINY AND SORT

70:17

OF THE BIZARRE THINGS THAT WE

70:18

SAW ONLINE CAME AFTER VICTORIA,

70:21

THE PHOTOSHOPPED PICTURE OF THE

70:25

FAMILY.

70:25

ANY IDEA, ANY THOUGHTS ON ON

70:29

MAYBE WHY CATHERINE THOUGHT

70:33

THAT WAS A THE WAY TO I DON'T

70:34

KNOW GET TYPE OF MESSAGE OUT.

70:37

>> I THINK IT WAS A REALLY

70:40

GENUINE MISTAKE AND GENUINELY

70:41

THINK THAT SHE DID NOT REALIZE

70:44

THE SERIOUS ERROR IN MAKING

70:45

EDITS TO THAT PICTURE.

70:45

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKE

70:49

THAT IT'S TWO PICTURES AND SHE

70:50

WAS THINKING OF IT AS A FAMILY

70:50

PORTRAIT, BUT OBVIOUSLY QUITE

70:52

CONNECTING WITH THE IDEA

70:53

THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE

70:53

RELEASED AS A NEWS IMAGE, AS A

70:56

MATTER OF RECORD, A MESSAGE

70:57

FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY.

71:00

THEREFORE, IT WAS GOING TO BE

71:00

EXPECTED TO BE SUBJECTED

71:01

TO THESE MUCH MORE STRINGENT.

71:04

WHAT I WOULD SAY ABOUT THAT

71:04

IS THAT I THINK THE FACT

71:05

THAT SHE PUT HER HANDS UP

71:07

AND APOLOGIZED VERY QUICKLY

71:08

AND PUT OUT THAT VERY PERSONAL

71:08

MESSAGE WAS HER MISTAKE.

71:11

SHE OWNED IT.

71:12

SHE DIDN'T SORT OF HIDE BEHIND

71:12

A VAGUE MESSAGE FROM HER STAFF.

71:15

I THINK THAT KIND OF SAYS A LOT

71:16

ABOUT HER CHARACTER AND IT KIND

71:16

OF MATCHES WITH WHAT WE'RE

71:19

SEEING NOW.

71:19

SHE'S COMING FORWARD AND SHE

71:20

SAT THERE IN FRONT OF A CAMERA

71:22

AND DELIVERED THIS VERY

71:22

PERSONAL MESSAGE DIRECTLY

71:26

TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT WHAT

71:26

IS GOING ON WITH HER.

71:27

AND I THINK REALLY SHE HAS

71:30

TAKEN THE TIME TO DO THINGS

71:31

AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE ON HER

71:33

OWN TERMS.

71:33

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK

71:34

THE TIMING OF THIS VIDEO

71:34

ANNOUNCEMENT WAS TO DO WITH THE

71:38

REACTION TO ANYTHING.

71:38

I THINK IF THEY WERE GOING

71:39

TO BE REACTIVE EARLY, I THINK

71:42

THIS WAS ABOUT WAITING UNTIL IT

71:42

WAS RIGHT FOR HER, HER FAMILY

71:44

AND HER CHILDREN.

71:45

FOR HER TO DO THIS IN HER OWN

71:47

WAY.

71:48

AND VICTORIA, SHE DID.

71:49

AND SHE'S DONE IT IN HER OWN

71:52

WAY.

71:52

AND WHAT A FINE WAY IT REALLY

71:53

WAS IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION.

71:56

>> SHE SHOWED THE STEEL

71:57

AND COURAGE THAT YOU'VE BEEN

72:00

TALKING ABOUT.

72:00

I WANT TO FOLLOW VICTORIA

72:01

ON THIS DAY.

72:01

RIGHT.

72:03

SO IT'S A LITTLE AFTER 7:00

72:03

IN LONDON.

72:04

NOW YOU'VE WORKING THIS STORY

72:07

ALL DAY.

72:08

UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A BRIEFING

72:08

THAT YOU HAD AND THEN

72:09

THE STATEMENT AND YOU'VE

72:11

OBVIOUSLY BEEN REPORTING FOR

72:11

US ON THIS AND THIS IS THIS

72:15

IS A SUBJECT THAT THERE'S

72:16

A PERSON AND THE ROYAL THAT YOU

72:18

COVER ALL THE TIME.

72:18

>> AND I WONDER IF I COULD ASK

72:22

YOUR OWN FEELINGS RIGHT NOW,

72:22

YOUR OWN REACTION TO WHAT

72:23

IS SHOCKING TO THE WHOLE WORLD,

72:27

TO SAY NOTHING OF SOMEONE WHOSE

72:27

JOB IT IS, YOU KNOW, TO BE

72:30

CLOSE TO THIS FAMILY,

72:31

TO TRANSLATE WHAT THEY'RE DOING

72:34

FOR, FOR US AND FOR OTHERS.

72:35

>> I MEAN, I THINK

72:38

THE OVERRIDING SENTIMENT WAS

72:38

SHOCK.

72:38

>> LIKE MOST PEOPLE, I THINK

72:41

MOST PEOPLE WILL BE FEELING

72:42

COMPLETE SHOCK THIS EVENING

72:42

WHEN THEY'VE HEARD THIS NEWS.

72:44

BUT I THINK, AS I'M SURE

72:45

YOU CAN CONNECT WITH, THERE

72:45

IS THAT SEPARATION WHEN

72:46

YOU'RE TRYING TO IMPART

72:48

THE INFORMATION AND TRYING

72:48

TO BE AS UNEMOTIONAL

72:49

AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THESE THINGS.

72:52

BUT, YOU KNOW, I DO RELATE VERY

72:53

MUCH.

72:53

YOU KNOW, I'M A SIMILAR AGE

72:56

I HAVE CHILDREN IN VERY SIMILAR

72:57

AGE, ACTUALLY.

72:59

AND I REALLY, REALLY FEEL FOR

73:00

HER BECAUSE THIS I IMAGINE

73:03

TALKING TO YOUR CHILDREN

73:04

ABOUT THESE THINGS AND THINKING

73:07

ABOUT HOW TO EXPLAIN THESE

73:07

THINGS TO CHILDREN IS ONE

73:08

THING.

73:08

BUT WHEN YOU WERE IN THAT

73:09

POSITION AND YOU KNOW

73:11

THAT EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE

73:11

TALKING ABOUT IT, THEY MIGHT

73:12

HEAR THINGS FROM OTHER PEOPLE.

73:15

YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TELL THEM

73:15

SOMETHING AND ASK THEM NOT

73:16

TO TELL PEOPLE.

73:18

ALL OF THESE THINGS MUST BE

73:19

GOING THROUGH HER MIND AND THAT

73:22

REALLY JUST ADDING TO WHAT

73:23

SHE'S DEALING WITH RIGHT.

73:26

SO I DO HAVE A LOT OF A LOT

73:26

OF EMPATHY AND FEELING VERY

73:29

MUCH FOR HER RIGHT NOW.

73:30

>> ONE MORE QUESTION

73:33

DR. SUTTON, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

73:34

PRINCESS KATE'S SAYING SHE'S IN

73:37

THE EARLY STAGES

73:37

OF PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY

73:38

TREATMENT, WHICH STARTED

73:40

IN LATE FEBRUARY.

73:41

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT

73:44

THAT INVOLVES.

73:44

WELL, THE QUESTION HERE IS WHAT

73:45

TYPE OF CANCER ARE WE

73:46

SPECIFICALLY TREATING?

73:48

BECAUSE THEN THAT TELLS US WHAT

73:49

TYPE OF CHEMOTHERAPY WOULD

73:50

BE BEST.

73:52

WHEN YOU TALK

73:53

ABOUT PREVENTATIVE

73:53

CHEMOTHERAPY, IT CAN

73:54

BE SUBJECTIVE AND DIFFERENT

73:54

FROM PERSON PERSON.

73:56

THE MAIN GOAL MOST COMMONLY

73:57

IS TO PREVENT THE RISK

73:57

OF RECURRENCE.

74:00

BUT THEN ALSO IN SOME CASES,

74:01

YOU MIGHT HAVE WHAT'S

74:01

CALLED RESIDUAL CANCER CELLS

74:04

THAT ARE STILL THERE THAT YOU

74:05

WANT TO MAKE SURE

74:05

ARE ELIMINATED.

74:06

AND THEN WHEN YOU TALK

74:08

ABOUT THERE ARE DIFFERENT FORMS

74:09

THAT YOU CAN GIVE IT IN.

74:09

IN SOME CASES, YOU CAN

74:11

GIVE TARGETED CHEMOTHERAPY,

74:12

AND IN OTHER CASES YOU CAN

74:12

GET MORE GENERAL CHEMOTHERAPY.

74:15

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE,

74:16

THE SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED

74:16

WITH MORE GENERAL CHEMOTHERAPY

74:20

,TYPICALLY MORE OF WHAT WE

74:20

MORE COMMONLY KNOW ABOUT, FOR

74:21

EXAMPLE, THE NAUSEA, THE HAIR

74:24

LOSS.

74:24

BUT OVERALL, OVERALL, AND WHEN

74:25

YOU LOOK AT THIS, A THOUSAND

74:28

FOOT PERSPECTIVE, YOU REALLY WE

74:28

REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY CONTEXT

74:31

HERE BECAUSE WE JUST

74:32

SPECIFICALLY DO NOT KNOW

74:32

WHAT TYPE OF CANCER WE

74:33

ARE TREATING.

74:34

BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT

74:35

THERE WILL LIKELY BE FUTURE

74:36

IMAGING SCREENING STUDIES

74:38

AND REGULAR SURVEILLANCE

74:39

TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER

74:39

IS DONE HERE IS SUCCESSFUL.

74:43

ABSOLUTELY.
