00:00 And I think this is what the King is going through now.

00:02 He's thinking about, "How much longer have I got?"

00:04 And poor William, at the end of the day,

00:08 poor William has this awful responsibility coming his way,

00:11 hurtling down the track, faster than he thought it would.

00:14 Now, I know the King will recover from this,

00:16 but it shows that he is in a fragile condition.

00:19 And if William, and if the King can't make

00:22 the Chogham meeting in India later this year,

00:25 and he can't go on to New Zealand for a tour,

00:28 then it's going to fall back on William

00:30 to do these responsibilities and to step up for the King.

00:33 So there's an awful lot of pressure on William.

00:36 - You're right, and also his wife isn't well too.

00:38 So he's got that added pressure as well.

00:43 - Yeah, his father's sick, his wife's sick,

00:46 his brother's gone AWOL.

00:48 As you said, thank God for Princess Anne,

00:49 because she's never sick and she just soldiers on.

00:53 She's just incredible.
