For Prince William, 37, Duchess Catherine, 38, and all other senior members of the royal family, the focus is on the common good. While William focuses on mental health and conservation, Kate's support for early childhood development is a matter of the heart. However, the couple's agenda could change as a result of the coronavirus crisis, predicts Royal rapporteur Katie Nicholl.
Duchess Catherine + Prince William in the fight against the corona virus?
"At a time like this, the royal family is very important to provide stability and support to a concerned nation," Nicholl quotes an insider for her article on vanityfair.com. Therefore, the insider assumes that the charity focus of Kate and William will shift. "Community support and vulnerable people in society is currently more important."
It is also conceivable that Kate's big project, the "Big 5 Questions" to support toddlers and their parents, has to be paused.
Prince William speaks to the crisis
Prince William already stirred the drum last Thursday to mobilize against COVID-19. In a video that Kensington Palace posted on social media, he said: "Whenever and wherever difficulties arise, the British people have the unique ability to pull together." That is why he called for support from the National Emergencies Trust. The fund helps people in England who have been hit by a disaster or emergency.
William's brother Prince Harry, 35, also spoke with his wife Duchess Meghan, 38. On Instagram, the royal couple announced that they would provide their followers with comprehensive information and resources in the fight against the corona virus.
