Prince Charles also commented on the larger societal changes and challenges occurring during this health crisis: "As we are all learning, this is a strange, frustrating and often distressing experience, when the presence of family and friends is no longer possible and the normal structures of life are suddenly removed."
In his message to the public, he also expressed his compassion to the larger public. He said, "At such an unprecedented and anxious time in all our lives, my wife and I are thinking particularly of all those who have lost their loved ones in such very difficult and abnormal circumstances, and of those having to endure sickness, isolation and loneliness."
He also acknowledged the challenges ahead: “As a nation, we are faced by a profoundly challenging situation, which we are too aware threatens the livelihoods, businesses and welfare of millions of our fellow citizens."
However, he ended with an encouraging message with the public: “None of us can say when this will end, but end it will. Until it does, let us try and live with hope and — with faith in ourselves and each other — look forward to better times to come.”
