Yes, I do touch. I believe that everyone needs that
I love to hold people's hands when I visit hospitals, even though they are shocked because they haven't experienced anything like it before, but to me it is a normal thing to do.
Whoever is in the distress can call me. I will come running wherever they are.
I've always though that people need to feel good about themselves and I see my role as offering support to them, to provide some light along the way.
So many people supported me through my public life and I will never forget them.

Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
I like to be a free spirit. Some don't like that, but that's the way I am.
It's vital the monarchy keeps in touch with the people. It's what I try and do.

Life is just a journey
I remember when I used to sit on hospital beds and hold people’s hands, people used to be shocked because they’d never seen this before. To me it was quite normal.
My first thoughts are that I should not let people down, that I should support them and love them.
If you find someone you love in your life, then hang on to that love.
I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour; for a day, for a month, but I can give and I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that.
I adore him I have never been so happy. I have real love.
Everyone of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process, care for ourselves.

What must it be like for a little boy to read that daddy never loved mummy?

I don't want expensive gifts; I don't want to be bought. I have everything I want. I just want someone to be there for me, to make me feel safe and secure.
Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give something back.
Perhaps we're too embarrassed to change or too frightened of the consequences of showing that we actually care. But why not risk it anyway? Begin Today. Carry out a random act of seemingly senseless kindness, with no expectation or reward or punishment. Safe in the knowledge that one day, someone somewhere might do the same for you.
I want to walk into a room, be it a hospital for the dying or a hospital for the sick children, and feel that I am needed. I want to do, not just to be.
I love meeting people and helping them.
Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.
I am all about caring. I have always been like that.
I'm aware that people I have loved and have died and are in the spirit world look after me.

I want my boys to have an understanding of people's emotions, their insecurities, people's distress, and their hopes and dreams.

If I am to care for people in hospital I really must know every aspect of their treatment and to understand their suffering.
