The princess joined presenters Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle via video link from the top of the Empire State Building in New York.

Gibson asked after Beatrice's mum Fergie, who had surgery for breast cancer last year before being diagnosed with a malignant melanoma.

Beatrice replied: "She's such a phenomenal icon. As a mum she's been amazing.

"She's been through so much and her sense of purpose and resilience really keeps me going.

"She's doing really well, thank you Josie. She had a bumpy health scare last year but she's all clear now.

"But I think at 64, she's thriving, she's been through so much, but now she's coming into her own.

"We are just reminded when any parent or individual has a health scenario, you really need to get the checks you need as early as you possibly can.

"And both my sister and I are so proud of her for taking those steps to get those checks.

"We’re really lucky in the UK to make sure you can get those checks as best as you can.

"Hopefully, we can be there to support each other when anyone goes through a health scare.

"There's nothing more important than family."
