Royal biographer and commentator Ingrid Seward : “When someone has been through something as life threatening as Kate has there’s a huge amount of thanks and love. And you really felt that today.
“When Kate met staff and patients, you felt the hugging and the comfort she was giving them was incredibly genuine, because it really came from her heart, because I think she felt that for the grace of God she might be in that position, too.
“She’s a little beacon of hope for cancer sufferers. The visit to the Royals Marsden today was definitely the most candid she’s been.I feel that she’s handled this so brilliantly, and she can do no wrong at the moment.
“She’s almost come into a sort of saint like position by being so very, very ill, probably a lot more ill than we imagined, and coming through it, and still looking gorgeous, getting on with it.”
