Although Prince Harry was not a part of the call since he stepped down from royal duties earlier this year, Prince William was present. The prince thanked the nurses for continuing to a “terrific job” said, “I hope you know how appreciated everyone is.”
Other royals on the call included Duchess Camilla and Prince Charles, who recovered from his own battle with COVID-19 in April. “On this International Nurses Day, my family and I want to join in the chorus of thank yous to nursing and midwifery staff all over the country and indeed the world,” said Prince Charles. The royal family has pivoted many of their charitable works to help support people affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
