00:00 I think the King will be extremely pleased to be out and about again. It's very good news.
00:04 It shows that he's on the way to recovery and I think we'll all be delighted to see him.
00:10 I think the most difficult thing for him was that he was really getting into his stride as Head of State
00:14 and he was doing so much and then suddenly he was kind of confined to base.
00:18 Obviously he was able to fulfil his constitutional duties during that time
00:22 but it's not quite the same as being out and meeting people which is what he really enjoys.
00:26 So I think we'll be really pleased to see him and I'm sure he'll be delighted to be out and about again.
00:30 There's a State visit coming up from the Emperor of Japan. That's very exciting.
00:34 There are all sorts of things like Garter Day, Royal Ascot, Garden Parties.
00:38 He will do whatever he possibly can but as with anybody who's been having treatment
00:43 I think we must understand if one day he just doesn't feel like doing it,
00:47 it doesn't mean it's the end of the world or anything, we must just pace him as best as possible.
00:51 But the main thing is that we shall see him again.
