00:00Yes, it was wonderful to see her coming in through the front door and with an official
00:24visit and announcing her joint patronage with the Prince of Wales.
00:29As I said, it's amazing for the Royal Marsden and for our patients and staff that they've
00:32both taken that responsibility on and it's been a wonderful visit and a huge credit to
00:38her because it can't have been easy.
00:50Yes, she seemed to really have an understanding of what they were going through and she was
00:55really good with the patients and it was good, I think, for both of them to have support
01:01of each other.
01:10I think it's massive and really important for people to have someone so high profile going
01:20through this experience because I think it will allow people to talk about it more and
01:26recognise it a little bit more, so I think that's very important, yeah.
01:38It's really uplifting for both patients and staff and, of course, the Princess is able
01:42to talk to patients from her own personal experience, so it's uplifting for patients
01:48and staff, it's great for the hospital, it shines a light on the work we do day in and
01:52day out for patients and their families.
02:08The Princess is wonderfully natural, you'll have seen patients actually hugging her and
02:14identifying with her, so it was very moving, very touching and I'm sure it was moving for her also.
