Prince William is video calling people working in his charities

Prince William is doing what he can to help lift the spirits of those working to help those impacted by the deadly COVID-19. The Duke of Cambridge has been self-isolating on his family’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk along with wife Kate and the couple’s three children, including Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Thankfully, the WiFi connection in their Amner Hall home, which is over 200 years old, appears to provide full bars and is enabling William to keep in touch with workers on the front line of his charities.On Sunday, the Duke of Cambridge began his new role as the first patron of the National Emergencies Trust, an organization that was created following the devastating 2017 fire at Grenfell Tower and the Manchester and London terror attacks. William had already been acting in support of his new role and calling members of various charities he is now overseeing.Just last week, William spoke with Jacky Crawford, who is head of service at Moorland Community Charity in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Crawford helps to run a local foodbank and told the Prince that the organization has seen a ‘dramatic increase’ in the number of people requiring assistance since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. "I think Britain is at its best, weirdly, when we’re all in a crisis,” the Prince told Jacky during a video call. “That community spirit and community feel comes rushing back quicker than anything else."

Thanks to funding by the National Emergencies Trust, which has already donated £12.5 million to help fight COVID-19 and help those impacted by the virus, Webster and her team can support people with disabilities and have been working tirelessly to deliver food to those in need. The Duke of Cambridge thanked Webster for her work, saying "Thank goodness you’re there, Natalie. It’s got to be reassuring for everyone when so much is changing around them to know that you’re still there and your team are still looking out for them. That little bit of reassurance goes a long way."

The Duke of Cambridge was solo for his latest video calls but was joined last week by the Duchess of Cambridge to surprise students and teachers who are part of their Place2Be charity. The couple spent time speaking with the members of Casterton Primary Academy, which is acting as a hub for five other local schools that have closed during COVID-19. Casterton has remained open in order to support the children of frontline workers who are unable to stay home.

Teachers across the UK are dedicating their time to keeping schools open for the children of key workers and vulnerable children.

Although the Duke and Duchess are reportedly spending quarantine at their home on the Royal Family’s Sandringham Estate, the couple shared a picture of their primary residence on Sunday to celebrate Easter. Matching the other senior members of the Royal Family and keeping the focus on flowers, the pair’s official Instagram page posted a snap of the couple’s Kensington Palace home, putting the focus on daffodils. That, and a very, very big palace.
