The royal couple held conversations with health workers at the Queen’s Hospital Burton in Staffordshire and the University Hospital Monklands in North Lanarkshire to learn more about the effects the pandemic has had upon their personal and professional lives.
“We’d just like to say from the two of us how proud we are of all of you and how amazingly you are all doing under extreme circumstances,” Prince William can be heard saying in a clip shared on the official Kensington Palace account.
“The whole country is proud of you – so thank you for everything you’re doing and all the hours you are putting in.”
The Duchess of Cambridge also touched upon the mental health of workers, adding that it must be difficult for those battling the pandemic to get the support they need, as she said: “It must be so hard.”
Earlier this week, the royal couple spoke about these challenges and revealed that they have been in regular contact with mental health organisations, including Mind and Place2Be, to understand the issues faced by NHS workers during this difficult time.
In photographs shared via their Instagram account, the royal duo can be seen speaking on the phone at their royal residence.
“Self-isolation and social distancing can pose huge challenges to our mental health – in recent weeks The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been in regular contact with organisations and patronages to understand the issues they are facing during this difficult time,” the caption reads.
The Cambridge children have also shown their support in recent weeks, as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis all participated in the UK’s #ClapForOurCarers campaign.
