The royal used the interview to speak about the important issue of violence against women.
She also discussed the death of Prince Philip and its impact on her and the family.
She told Naga Munchetty: “It’s only when you would do the normal things that you would have done with them, and you suddenly realise that they are not there, that you really start to have an ‘oh my goodness’ moment.
“Just talking to you now, it’s a bit of an ‘oh my goodness’ moment.”
