“When they celebrated 10 years they put out a charming video of the family. Last year they were on bikes – that was a delightful photograph.
“This year, of course we know that Catherine is battling preventative cancer, and she’s recovered from as substantial abdominal operation.
“It’s been a very difficult year, and clearly they’re very close knit family.
“They will rejoice in each other’s company. They will involve the family and they will undoubtedly feel that the pressure it wouldn’t be human to assume anything else.”
