The royal family would "collapse" without Kate, according to Burrell.

Kate's position is "incredible" because everything rests on her, says Burrell.

The future of the monarchy is down to Kate, who is in the same role as Princess Diana.

Kate's responsibilities are enormous and not enviable, according to Burrell.

Burrell served Kate's late mother-in-law Princess Diana for years.
