On Friday, Prince William and Kate gave a candid interview to BBC News about the coronavirus pandemic and how it has affected their everyday life. The couple spoke about homeshooling their children, how they are staying fit, but also revealed how they reacted to Prince Charles' positive diagnosis for COVID-19 and why they knew he would beat it.
"I have to admit, at first I was quite concerned, he fits the profile of somebody, at the age he is at, which is fairly risky, and so I was a little bit worried," Prince William said as wife Kate listened attentively next to him.

The Queen's grandson also revealed what Prince Charles had found more challenging whilst fighting the virus, saying: "I think the hardest thing he found was having to stop and not being able to go and get a bit of fresh air and go for a walk.
"He is a mad walker. Loves just walking. So I think he found it quite difficult. Especially, also I think with his mental health, being stuck inside and not being able to go for walks," he added.
