“We would just like to say from the two of us, you know, how proud we are of all of you and how amazing you’re all doing under extreme circumstances,” the Duke of Cambridge, 37, said on their call to the NHS.

He specifically called out their bravery for continuing to go into work in such dark times.

“Now I know all of you, you say this is your job and you get on with it but generally this is a different level and you guys are doing an incredible job,” he said.

He continued, “The whole country is proud of you and not just us. We really mean that so thank you for everything you’re doing and all the hours you’re putting in.”

The Duchess of Cambridge, 38, was also on the call though she didn’t chime in and instead let her husband do the talking.

The royal couple plan to help those struggling from the outbreak, shifting their usual agenda to focus on the fight against COVID-19.

They have been practicing social distancing while also continuing to be in contact with organizations and patronages devoted to stopping the spread and helping those in need.

The Royals have been affected as well, with Prince Charles testing positive for coronavirus last month. He is now out of self-isolation.

Meanwhile, the Queen and Prince Phillip are in lockdown in Windsor castle over coronavirus fears.
