The movie features the 39-year-old duchess’ phone calls with 4-year-old cancer individual Mila Sneddon, a finalist from the National Portrait Gallery’s Hold Still photographs exhibition.
“Good morning. Goodness me, you are so considerate, Mila!”
The photograph submitted for the competition featured Mila’s dad, Scott, seeing her and her mother, Lynda, via a window as they self-isolated individually during the child’s leukemia treatments amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“When he came to the house I was, like, so surprised,” Mila told Kate after she asked how hard it was not to see her father.
The 4-year-old then asked Kate if she had been wearing a costume, to which she replied,”I’m not wearing a princess costume at this time, I am afraid Mila.”
Kate also talked to Mila’s mother.
“We took the decision to isolate before lockdown as we were very conscious about what was occurring, certainly in Europe, and at the U.K., at the time,” Lynda, who’s also the mother of girl Jodi, informed Kate. “However, our lockdown did come with a tiny silver lining because she is still going through treatment and her immune system is compromised. Lockdown for us, you understand, allowed us a period of time to focus on her treatment without interruption of illnesses and viruses generally, not only Covid-19. We have had our ups and downs.”
Kate ended the call,”I’m quite thankful. And [thank you] for sharing this kind of personal time.”
“Be careful what you say today, because these men, they are filming everything,” William joked before a supercut of their loved ones and royal responsibilities played.
Kate responded,”I know!”
Along with their YouTube channel launch, the couple tweaked their Instagram from”@KensingtonRoyal” into”@DukeandDuchessofCambridge.” The news came following Us Weekly exclusively reported on William’s plans to”modernize” the monarchy as he prepares to become king one day.
“William is thinking about the future of the Monarchy and the changes he will make,” the insider said. “While he respects protocol, he intends to modernize some aspects and is making it his mission to become relatable than previous generations.”
