GB News star Andrew Pierce has admitted Princess Kate’s cancer update video left him feeling “uneasy”.
The Princess of Wales delivered a heartfelt message last week where she confirmed her return to public duties following the completion of her chemotherapy course.
In the clip, the Waleses are seen enjoying the outdoors with their children during a recent trip to Norfolk.
But Andrew was not fully sold on the video, telling royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams that it was too ‘glitzy’ for his liking.

“Now I’ve watched it properly, I’m a little uneasy about it”, he said.
“Is it not a bit too glitzy and Hollywood?”, he asked Richard Fitzwilliams, who said the Waleses are trying to strike a balance.

“I think there is a balance to be had here - on one hand, there’s getting a message across to young people, which I think was the priority”, he said.
“It was a very different approach. There was slow motion with music and so forth, it was done deliberately and done with a purpose to spread a word.
“It was very easily accessible, I look at it in those terms. I think it depends on who you’re targeting.”
Andrew added that the couple are “doing things their way”, something Fitzwilliams acknowledged by branding the move “unprecedented”.
The emotional video has drawn plaudits from royal fans worldwideKENSINGTON PALACE“It’s a change. It’s completely new”, he said.
“There’s no question it has caused a certain amount of debate. Things do evolve. You could argue the Royal Family in the 1960s were unique.
“It’s a question of getting the balance. It’s a difficult time for the Royal Family with two senior members suffering with cancer and hopefully things are going in the right direction.”
In the video, Kate says: “Doing what I can to stay cancer-free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.
“I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.
“Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.”
