Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis delighted the British public, especially the medical frontliners, after they joined the Clap for Carers campaign last March 26. The Cambridge kids enthusiastically cheered for the doctors, nurses and medical workers who have been risking their lives to save and heal COVID-19 patients in this pandemic.
The children's action apparently mirrors what Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret did nearly 80 years ago, per People. In 1940, when the world was also dealing with a global crisis, then Princess Elizabeth and her sister spoke to the British people and the soldiers to boost their morale.
Queen Elizabeth was 14 at that time when she and Princess Margaret, who was then 10, did a radio address for separated families during the war. In her speech, the young princess said that she feels for families who are missing their loved ones.
She also cheered on the "gallant sailors, soldiers and airmen" who are braving the war and facing danger to protect their families and to bring peace to their children. The future Queen then said good luck to everyone to end her message to the public.
Throughout the war, Queen Elizabeth also helped by working at the Auxiliary Territorial Service as a mechanic and driver. At 18, she insisted to her father that she can be of help to the soldiers.
What the Queen, Princess Margaret and the Cambridge kids did is apparently a reflection of the importance of the Commonwealth. They boost the morale of the British public and give support to their country.
One day, Prince George will be remembered for this small part he played during the pandemic when he becomes the King of England. He is the third in line to the throne, after all.
Meanwhile, Prince Louis will soon turn two years old this April. The youngest of the Cambridge children was born on April 23 and will likely celebrate his birthday with just his family members since large gatherings are currently prohibited in the U.K. due to the coronavirus.
The Cambridges are staying in Anmer Hall in Norfolk while they observe the quarantine set by the government. Incidentally, Anmer Hall is where Prince George and Princess Charlotte spent most of their time as toddlers.
According to Hello, Prince Louis has a slightly different upbringing compared to his two older siblings. Until these last few weeks, he has been living in London for most of his young life.
The Cambridges moved to London when Prince George and Princess Charlotte started attending school in the city thus Prince Louis only visited their Norfolk home during the holidays and some weekends. But when Prince George and Princess Charlotte where Prince Louis age, they Cambridges lived in Anmer Hall, away from the fast life in London.
