Transcript

00:00How do you feel like she plans on balancing it all?

00:03I don't, you know, the thing is, once again,

00:05she's always been very interested in,

00:08she's never allowed herself to be pushed, you know?

00:10That's one of the great things.

00:12She has this tremendous dignity and grace,

00:14and of course, she's a very hard worker,

00:15and she has the causes that she's interested in.

00:17And she has been working behind the scenes

00:19during this entire time.

00:21It's not as if she, you know,

00:23during her chemotherapy was completely inactive

00:26in terms of her causes.

00:28She was, but it was very quiet,

00:29and under the radar.

00:31But now she's going to have to be, once again,

00:33step into the limelight,

00:35and be a huge part of the public face of the monarchy.

00:39And will that happen before the end of the year?

00:42We'll have to wait and see.

00:42I think a real turning point's going to come

00:45around Christmas, when she'll, I would imagine,

00:48be extremely visible with the rest of it.

00:50Yes.

00:51Yeah, definitely.

00:52I mean, you kind of answered this a little bit before,

00:54but do you feel like Prince William is encouraging her

00:56to take things slowly?

00:57Is he encouraging her to get back to work?

01:00And what does he understand if she wants

01:01to take a back seat?

01:03I think he, William has always let her decide.

01:05I mean, obviously in this particular situation,

01:08he is not going to push her into doing anything

01:10that she didn't want to do.

01:11And he didn't, before cancer diagnosis,

01:13he took the same attitude.

01:14He was never, he never felt the criticism of her was fair.

01:18He knew that she was a hard worker,

01:20but he also knew that her focus was family.

01:22And prior to that, you know,

01:24the rest of the royals really,

01:26most of them have never had that kind of hands-on

01:28relationship that she does with the kids.

01:30I mean, all three children, you know,

01:32they go to school, they come back,

01:34and they spend time with their parents

01:37the way an average, you know, suburban family would.

01:40And so, well, somewhat,

01:42as close as you can imagine the royals.

01:44He's at the point, but you know,

01:46she wanted them to have something

01:47akin to a normal childhood.

01:50And she doesn't want this to change things.

01:52And don't forget the entire announcement

01:54that she had cancer in the first place was,

01:57and that was a stunner,

01:58as you may recall with all the disasters

02:00and elections going on in the world.

02:01And yet, when she made that video announcement

02:04that she was being treated for cancer,

02:07everything stopped.

02:08You know, she was, and she was, I think,

02:09surprised at the outpouring of concern for her.

02:15But, you know, she held,

02:17the timing of that particular video was key,

02:19was pegged to what impact it would have on the children.

02:23She wanted to make sure that schools were afraid

02:25that if she made that statement,

02:26that the kids would then become victims of bullying

02:29or gossip or rumors.

02:31And she didn't want that.

02:31She wanted to have them at home

02:32when she made that announcement to the world

02:35that she was suffering from cancer.

02:36So that's her priority.

02:38It will always be her priority.

02:39And I think she's going to,

02:42I don't think William begrudges her that at all.

02:44And matter of fact, I think he's very grateful.
