William and Kate: The First Year Page #6

---

a very fond relationship,

and I think that the Queen looks

at Kate,

and sees that she is the future,

she's the Queen consort.

It will be many years

before we see her in the top job

alongside William,

but there's no better way to learn

than by doing it.

This is a family now that is

actually genuinely quite happy.

The past is behind it.

Everybody seems to be settled,

everybody seems to be happy,

and I think that's very, very

important to the Queen.

With William back from his tour

of duty in the Falklands,

the Duke and Duchess were reunited.

Life went back to normal

in Anglesey,

but as working members

of the royal family,

normality always includes some

official duties.

Their next big set piece event

is a tour of the South Pacific.

You can be sure it's going

to be huge

in terms of global attention.

It won't just be us following them,

there'll be media from all over

the world.

It will be a very, very big event.

After that, I suspect there might

be a period of quiet and calm.

They've both made it clear

that in the immediate future

they want to continue their life

as a serving services family.

Not bad for a new boy.

Probably some point in 2013...

That's when the Prince will decide

his future with the RAF.

It's when they will have to give up

the private part of their lives,

that part of life they are able to

enjoy in Anglesey at the moment,

and things will change.

Will they have a family?

Well, it's speculation.

Obviously, that's part of the plan.

I think we'll take it one step

at a time.

We'll get over the marriage thing

first, and then maybe look at kids.

As well as one day becoming parents,

William and Catherine's future lies

at the helm of our country.

They are our future King

and Queen consort.

I think William and Catherine

will be fantastic leaders.

I think, looking ahead to William,

I think there is a sense that it

will be in quite safe hands.

They are an amazing couple

who have just taken

the nation's heart.

I think the reason we've fallen

in love with them so much

is because they are genuinely

in love.

We are looking forward to spending

the rest of our lives together

and seeing what the future holds.

I think as a double act,

we couldn't get much better,

actually.
