I don’t think the video was done to end speculation. I think it was a focus more for her artistic nature during this difficult time . I agree it has a memory box feel to it and is kind of dream like. I think she is immortalising the way she wants to be seen in history. Life is very fleeting and no doubt she feels that now. I quite like this one, and unlike some I will criticise if I don’t like something she produces.

I'm not British so I don't really have an opinion but yes I've heard it said many times. Apparently her accent is closer to old school RP.

@lemonstolemonade so sorry to hear that, just devastating. I think her words resonated with me as a very close family member was given a dire diagnosis but with treatment we now to have some hope. Not 'cured' but more time.

Sometimes though the trajectory is awful and seems utterly and devastatingly cruel and unfair, my thoughts are with you.

I liked it..,.I like her and William….I’m glad shes on her way to recovery

I thought it was a lovely video ,showing they are the same as others .
If K and W are happy then that is all that really matters.
It is inevitable that some people are never satisfied 🤷‍♀️I wish them all well .

Sending healing vibes your way. I hope your journey is a successful one

Bloody hell that was a schmaltz-fest. How bloody self-indulgent and OTT.

I’m pleased Kate has finished her chemo, but a statement rather than a movie-trailer would’ve done.

Completely agree with this.

Very happy for her and her family that she has finished her chemotherapy and is feeling strong enough to resume a few duties and obviously have sympathy with her words but whichever PR guru directed and advised them on that film ought to be sacked. The wheat fields and the filtered light
strikes the wrong tone imho. And agree it was too long.

I think it would have been better if she had been filmed on a semi-official, semi-casual visit to a cancer charity, sitting in on a group therapy session or chatting with hospital volunteers with a simplified message played over the top.

@DillDanding statements worked so well before didn’t they! That’s why they have had to videos like this to keep the ghouls at bay

Such a beautiful video, and very movingly worded
They may be royal, but are enjoying simple pleasures like the rest of us

Though not a supporter of the monarchy I have to agree with this, but then that's how dignified people behave

As many of us have said from the start the details are nobody else's business, and as I'd say with anyone I'm just glad Catherine seems to be over the worst and may hopefully recover fully

Saccharine over-produced nonsense, made using our money.

And no substitute for actual work.

She probably would have preferred to do that but after then last statement on her health when the world and the world’s media went collectively mad can you blame her? Whether to video is to your taste or not they probably did it to put to bed the ridiculous online rumours that she is dead, in a coma, being beaten by William and getting divorced, I think it’s to hammer home she is real and it’s not a body double (that’s particularly for you Mr. Bouzy).

Exactly.

Exactly. He must have been terrified at the prospect of suddenly becoming King with three young children, no wife and no brother at his side. Doesn’t bear thinking about, for any parent.

It made me teary, really lovely.

Lovely video. Beautiful family. Glad to see she Catherine is on the mend.

Re the comment about the video should have been in a cancer charity etc. I think there probably will be videos like that in the future, but for now the personal and family focus matters because cancer impacts on the family. As she said in her statement "life as you know can change in an instant' and that applies as much to the children as it does to Catherine. I think that recognition of this being a shared but personal journey is important.

Totally OTT and cringey but I wish Kate well

How do you know that the Sovereign grant paid for the video, have they released details?

And some people are having a pile on..

People are going to moan whatever are does. Let’s just be grateful that a young woman has come to the end of gruelling cancer treatment. Nobody knows what the future holds for her and I can understand her being grateful for every moment.

I grew up in the same area, it's how many people there speak. My accent softened over the years as I moved away but I only have to meet someone from the area and it all comes back. It sounds strange because these days we hear far more Estuary English than Home Counties accents.

It really was wasn’t it, glad it’s been deleted.

I bet this video has been carefully orchestrated... what is curious is why the amount of PDA is shown, when before they have barely touched each other in public 🤔
