The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined a number of video calls, including a live bingo game, to thank social care workers across the U.K. during the coronavirus pandemic.
Since much of the world went into lockdown, members of the royal family have been doing their best to remain engaged with the issues closest to them. And though Zoom calls have provided some limitations in the way that they work, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have found their own way to put a spin on video chats.
“Catherine’s going to pick out the first ball,” William announced as he spun a red ball cage, which had been delivered to their Anmer Hall home in Norfolk. “Six and two, tickety-boo,” Kate giggled as she read out the first ball, using one of the many number nicknames traditionally used in British bingo halls.
“If there’s hopefully some positivity that comes out of this horrendous time, it is that there’s a light shone on all of the wonderful things you all do and on the social care sector, and it allows people to acknowledge, respect, and appreciate everything that you are doing,” William told care workers, including those providing care within people’s homes and supported living services, during a May 14 video chat.
