Prince William has paid tribute to military personnel helping with the roll-out of the Covid-19vaccine.
The Duke of Cambridge, who spoke by video call with five military personnel, said: “I really appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing at the moment. It’s making a huge difference.”
He added: “I hope we come out of this lockdown very soon and have a bit more social contact and life can come back to normal as soon as possible.”
More than 5,000 members of the Armed Forces have helped to set up and operate vaccination centres.
Leading Naval Nurse Megan Muirhead, of the Joint Hospital Group South-West, said: “There was a young boy, 26, like myself. He’s not left the house since March. He’s got a condition through no fault of his own and he was just so excited to meet up with his friends and just have some social life back .... so it was lovely to be able to give him back a bit of normality.”
William made the call on Wednesday last week but Kensington Palace only released the video today.
