00:00 I can only imagine the feeling of being diagnosed with cancer and having kids and having to do that.
00:09 I mean, I don't know about you, but there are definitely times when I just want to hide from the world.
00:15 And when I do that, that's absolutely fine.
00:18 But when the Royals do that, then it's almost as though people feel that they're entitled to know every single thing about them.
00:29 In the wake of much speculation about Kate's health in the lead up to her video message,
00:34 it's led many to question whether the attention was unwarranted.
00:38 Some believe we as the taxpaying public have a right to know about Royal news,
00:42 but others believe Kate and her family should be afforded privacy.
00:46 I believe in authenticity, but authenticity doesn't mean that they have to share everything.
00:55 But the public now are absolutely demanding to know more than ever before.
01:02 And the Royal family are just being scrutinised.
01:05 People are demanding a level of access that was never the case before.
01:11 Recently, there's been a shift in the way the Royals have approached talking about their health,
01:15 showing perhaps a sign of a new and improved Royal PR approach for the 21st century.
01:20 It looks to me like the Royal PR teams are wanting to make the Royal family a little more accessible.
01:30 But what that's doing is that people are then demanding more, more and more.
01:35 And what's happened up to now is that they've both given too much information and not enough at the same time.
01:44 You know, there was always this motto of never complain, never explain.
01:49 But what they've done is they've given little tidbits.
01:52 And what that does is it creates the human brain to go, well, what are the missing pieces?
