The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are using Her Majesty’s Royal Train to make the 1,250-trip across Scotland, England and Wales to shine a spotlight on those who have gone “above and beyond” during these testing times.
Weeks after Prince William praised researchers for "cracking" the covid-19 vaccine.
Before boarding the train, William and Catherine - who share three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis - met with staff and transport workers at Euston - who have “gone out of their way to ensure people feel safe and secure throughout this difficult time.”
Praising Alero Abbey, Transport for London Area Manager for Green Park and Euston, William, 38, said, "It's moments like this when people really appreciate what you do every day. Suddenly we all know what you do and that you do a really good job.”
