You know, considering that trip to the Isle of Mull
0:02
doesn't Kate look like she's back? She's amazing. She looks stunning. She looks really..
0:08
The smiles are big and they're real and she looks happy. And I was just watching her with people yesterday
0:14
and it feels like she's back to me. It really feels like she's come back. 100%
0:18
Yeah, 100%. I really do. Really hope so. It's quite an ordeal
0:22
And in that video she released recently about talking about nature with the kids. And you know, Piers, when you're..
0:27
Well, you know. When you're in the public eye, there's a pressure for you to smile the whole time
0:31
even if you feel like death. There's a pressure to smile and be good, and everyone picks
0:36
And you know that people are looking at you to look for little signs that maybe she's not good and maybe she's not good, whatever
0:42
And I just looked at them yesterday with all the pictures, and there are loads of pictures in the Express today, really happy pictures
0:49
And I think he... I think William has played a blinder with her, don't you
0:54
You know, I wasn't sure how good he would be in this situation
0:58
in the sense that he had to look after her and his kids and carry on doing the job
1:02
Yeah, it's a lot. And it's a lot to do, and he's done it brilliantly well
1:06
I think it's underrated how much of a natural Kate is, actually. You know, she is not..
1:11
Obviously, she's from a very nice background, but she's not from the world of the royals
1:15
She wasn't brought up to this. She wasn't brought up to do this. And she is really... When it comes to crowds and meeting people
1:19
she does have that kind of common touch that many others don't. I hate to compare her but she got the Diana touch hasn she She really has Yeah she really has Diana was brilliant with people Yeah And I think Kate you know Kate I mean she a fantastic mother but she doing other things too and she trying to forge a path
1:38
in much the same way that Diana did, you know, with her photography getting involved with
1:43
various charities that she supports. And I just think she's, I think you're right, Andy
1:49
people do, you know, she's not celebrated enough, actually. She has not put a foot wrong
1:54
You know, Diana arguably did put a foot wrong quite a few times
1:59
Because she decided she was going to be royal in her own right and to help Charles
2:03
Exactly. And she was in competition with him, open competition. It's called the War of the Waleses
2:07
Yeah, and the thing is, you know, Diana did what she did to achieve what she wanted to achieve
2:11
Kate is managing to do that without stepping outside of royal protocol
2:17
without upsetting the family, without, you know... I think the key to her success
2:22
they don't get anywhere near enough credit, are her parents. Yes. I think they've raised her so well
2:28
and I think they are phenomenal grandparents to those children, and I think they're probably superb in-laws to William as well
2:34
You know, you're right, Bev, there's a lot of sneering about... There was originally, do you remember
2:39
There still kind of is, you know, the fact that she was once a hostie. Doors to manual..
2:44
Because she was an air steward. Yeah. All that stuff. But after that, she managed to make a multi-million pound fortune
2:49
without the help of anybody. Yes, exactly. That's my business. It's a property down girl. That's right. But whilst also staying rather in the background
2:54
They don't push themselves forward to red carpet events. They don't do interviews. No, I think they're wonderful
