The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did a joint Zoom call this week, please talk about how keen they are, please please please. This joint Zoom call was to highlight the plight of nurses during the pandemic, and they spoke to a nursing studen named Abigail, who works at a hospital in Northern Ireland. Abigail had made a video about “a day in her life” and William and Kate saw the video and they were very keen about it.

? For nursing students, studying and undertaking placements during the pandemic has been a challenge like no other.

There were two more videos posted online of Will and Kate talking to student nurses about what they’re learning about how to help and treat Covid patients, but it’s all pretty normal and obvious stuff. What I keep thinking about is… how differently William and Kate behave versus the respect they show to the medical and nursing community. Like, I’ll totally buy that William and Kate genuinely want to personally thank nurses and doctors and frontline workers. I believe that the Cambridges want to highlight the stories of these essential workers. But then, every opportunity that William and Kate get, they make complete and utter asses of themselves by breaking lockdown rules or going on that asinine Maskless Covid Choo-Choo Tour. And don’t forget that they wandered the Pantoland red carpet maskless too!! Deeds not words.
