After explaining that it was "touch-and-go" for her husband during his time in hospital in 2020, she said: "Actually, even now, the virus has obviously left his system, but even now he's in a very challenging position. All his organs have been damaged in some way so he's not out of the woods but he is still here."
In February this year, Kate revealed that her husband, whom she married in 2005, is still "terribly affected by Covid" and that the illness has "undoubtedly" impacted his "brain connections to his body".
