00:00 Although cancer is destructive, in a way it does bring families together and reminds you of your
00:05 own mortality. And I think this is what the king is going through now. He's thinking about,
00:10 "How much longer have I got?" And poor William, at the end of the day, poor William has this awful
00:16 responsibility coming his way, hurtling down the track, faster than he thought it would.
00:21 Now I know the king will recover from this, but it shows that he is in a fragile condition. And
00:26 if William, and if the king can't make the Chogham meeting in India later this year,
00:32 and he can't go on to New Zealand for a tour, then it's going to fall back on William to do
00:37 these responsibilities and to step up for the king. So there's an awful lot of pressure on William.
00:43 You're right. And also his wife isn't well too. So he's got that added pressure as well.
00:50 Yeah, his father's sick, his wife's sick, his brother's gone AWOL. As you said,
00:55 thank God for Princess Anne. I feel for William so much because I know how sensitive he is.
01:02 I know he's a good boy. I know he wants to do his best. I mean, I still call him William.
01:07 I don't call him Prince of Wales. It's William to me. And when I've met him in the past,
01:14 I've spoken openly and honestly with him. And I know he's considered and measured,
01:20 and he's his mother's son, and he wants to do the best he can for his father. And he wants to make
01:28 this work between him and his brother. I'm hoping that this illness with the king
01:33 will bring both boys back together.
