As journalists are classified as essential workers, Holly is still able to go to work as usual with her co-host, Phlilip Schofield. However, she's at home the rest of the time, where, like many busy parents, she is balancing time alone with time with her family. She recently opened up about the challenges of homeschooling to the Duchess of Cambridge, saying: "Homeschooling is a challenge, as I am sure you are experiencing yourself – I also have three children at different ages and it is quite difficult keeping them all occupied with their individual topics." Kate joked about homeschooling her two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, saying: "George gets very upset because he just wants to do all of Charlotte's projects. Spider sandwiches are far cooler than literacy work!"
