“That role is even more important now given that Charles has been ill, Harry has walked away with Meghan and Andrew has been effectively barred from public life. But William is very keen to do anything he can to help.”
It comes after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited NHS staff (before the nationwide lockdown) in order to show their support to the service as COVID-19 continued to spread.
‘At times like this when we realise just how much the NHS represents the very best of our country and society,’ said the Duke.
‘They need our support as much as we need theirs’.
