Just like the rest of us, the Duke of Sussex is working from home and it seems the royal has mastered the fine art of a Zoom call.

Over Easter weekend, Prince Harry checked in with families of vulnerable children in the UK to see how they’re coping during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of his work with WellChild, an organisation which supports children who are cared for at home, the 35-year-old spoke with a nurse, two parents and the CEO of the British charity.

During the discussion, he spoke of his admiration for the families.

“Full respect to every single one of you,” Prince Harry said. “This is hard on everyone, but it is especially hard on you. I know what WellChild are doing everything can to support you.”

He later added that he hopes the British government does what it can to offer further support in times of crisis.

“Hopefully, through this video we can make it more clear and obvious to government and everybody else that you are in the ‘vulnerable’ bracket and WellChild needs more help.”

The interview also offered a glimpse into how the new father is finding quarantine with Meghan Markle and their 11-month-old son, Archie, in their Los Angeles residence.

“There’s a hell of a lot of positives that are happening at the same time and being able to have family time – so much family time – that you almost think, ‘Do I feel guilty for having so much family time?’,” he admitted.

“You’ve got to celebrate those moments where you are just on the floor rolling around in hysterics.”

In a moving end to the 30-minute call, Prince Harry offered some parting words of advice: “It is really nice to see you all smiling and happy.”

“Keep going, keep the morale up, keep busy, keep being creative, dare yourself to try new hobbies and I hope to see you all again very, very soon!”
