Prince Charles was accompanied by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall to show support for NHS staff and key workers. The future King and his wife took part in the “Clap Four Our Carers” campaign on Thursday.
The moment was rather special for Prince Charles as it was the first occasion that he and the Duchess of Cornwall participated since he recovered from coronavirus. The Prince of Wales caused public concern after he tested positive for COVID-19 back in March.
Fortunately, Prince Charles recovered from the life-threatening disease, making him one of the lucky ones who got out of it alive. Coronavirus has taken hundreds of thousands of lives all around the world, and the cure for the pandemic has yet to be discovered.
That being said, world leaders have implemented certain rules such as social distancing and nationwide lockdown in an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19. The rule should be strictly followed until it is lifted.
Frontline NHS staff, care workers, and people who have been helping out during the global health crisis are being hailed heroes for their efforts. In a symbol of union, Prince Charles and Camilla cheered for them.
Meanwhile, Prince Charles penned a plea while he was self-isolating at his Scottish home in Birkhall. The Prince of Wales is known for his deep-rooted love of the environment, and he is telling everyone to start appreciating Nature more.
"One of the most encouraging developments I have heard of during these past few difficult weeks has been the growth of local food delivery services, often sourcing locally produced food — vegetables, eggs, milk, meat, juice, homemade pies, and cheese,” he wrote. "With low food miles and simple, short supply chains, these initiatives are reminding us how things could be and they are serving to bind communities ever closer together, too.”
Prince Charles is also urging everyone to learn their lessons and change their behaviors once the coronavirus pandemic ends. He said that people should not return to their old ways of living.
”When we come out of this pandemic, as we surely will, it seems to me that we must learn some lessons: of the crucial importance of Nature to our wellbeing and to our very existence; of the power of localization; and simply of a kinder way of being,” he continued. “After the suffering and the selflessness we are witnessing, we cannot allow ourselves to go back to how we were. This is a moment in history."
