There is a series of phone calls in which the discussion is part by part where Kate is a word from the concern of the project. after she sent an image of her grandparents Pat and Ron Wood for the National Portrait Gallery’s Hold Still photograph exhibit so the Duchess of Cambridge spoke to Hayley Evans over the phone.

“That’s what I think is so lovely, is hearing people’s stories, and the things that have resonated for them.” Then Kate stated that: “I think things like that shouldn’t be taken for granted, particularly, you know, in the last few days of life,”. Also, Hayley added: “Although it’s a sad photo, it’s also so happy as well. When I look at it, I feel really sad, but I also think, I feel joyful, you know?”
