No doubt, Prince Charles is one of the busiest working royals. Despite being in isolation, amid this COVID-19 pandemic, the Prince of Wales has launched a new project -- his very first podcast!
Prince Charles is the very first royal featured in the "Abbeycast" for the Westminster Abbey. The London institution decided to open the podcast as church gatherings are temporarily not allowed during the quarantine and stay-at-home orders by the U.K. government.
The Prince of Wales' podcast came in time for the Easter celebration last Sunday. He recorded a Bible reading from John 20: 1-18, which was about the resurrection of Jesus Christ as witnessed by Mary Magdalene.
According to People, Prince Charles' recording will be archived in the abbey's digital and virtual platform and it will be used for succeeding Easter Sunday services. It tops last year's feat, where Prince Charles wrote an Easter Sunday piece to touch on violence.
The podcast comes as Prince Charles successfully recovered from coronavirus two weeks before. The Prince of Wales suffered mild symptoms and had to be in self-isolation from his country home in Birkhall, Scotland.
Prince Charles is still in Birkhall today, along with his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, as the stay-at-home orders are still in effect. It's unclear how long the heir to the throne will stay in Scotland when sources said that he is actually desperate to get back to his royal duties.
According to The Sun, Prince Charles would like to be able to do more amid this public health crisis. Although he has been virtually active, Prince Charles apparently want to be in the front and center of the efforts to help the disadvantaged and the vulnerable during this crisis.
Since Queen Elizabeth is at risk for COVID-19 as an elderly, she won't be able to completely do her royal role. Sources said that Prince Charles would like to step up but they are taking it day by day since he has just recovered from the coronavirus and he's also in the over '70s, a high-risk group.
Meanwhile, despite not forgoing work, Prince Charles still managed to relax and let it loose as he celebrated his wedding anniversary with Camilla last April 9. The royal couple commemorated their 15th year with a simple photo with their dogs at the front door of Birkhall. Incidentally, Prince Charles and Camilla had their honeymoon in Birkhall after their 2005 wedding.
