"This photo is from the first day we ever met in 2013, shooting our pilot of The Royals - I thought (and still think) that Alex was one of the most confident and beautiful people I'd ever met - little did I know that just a few weeks earlier, she had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

"At the time, I was too young to understand the enormity of this but now, having read Alex's beautiful book, I have a crazy new level of awe and respect for how this beautiful human acclimatised to both her illness and intense career without complaint and with such charm and professionalism."
