When the Princess of Wales decided to tell the world why she had been missing from public view - and that she would need to take longer away from the spotlight - she chose to do it in person. 

Kate shared the news of her cancer diagnosis in a recorded video message she had written herself. 

Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers to discuss the unprecedented announcement and its impact. 

They also reflect on reaction to the news, Camilla’s continued composure as she leads the line for the royals and Charles’s return for the Easter Sunday service.
