Duchess Camilla Takes Part in "Check In and Chat" Program for U.K. Citizens Isolated Due to Coronavirus
Duchess Camilla has returned to work after a two-week period of isolation in Scotland with her husband Prince Charles.
The Duchess of Cornwall has been participating in Check In and Chat, a program that allows her to speak with U.K. citizens who are self-isolating due to coronavirus.
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, has returned to work after a two-week period of self-isolation.
The duchess, who is the President of the Royal Voluntary Service (RVS), has joined the United Kingdom's Check In and Chat program, speaking with those who are self-isolating across the country due to the coronavirus pandemic, per a press release from Clarence House.
Doris Winfield, a mother of three who lives alone and is sheltering in place under the government's orders, shared her experience with the duchess and was immensely thankful that the royal was taking the time to talk with those who are missing spending physical time with their loved ones because of the ongoing crisis.
"Having a chat with the HRH The Duchess of Cornwall meant the world to me. I've been incredibly lonely over the last couple of weeks and it was wonderful to talk to her," said Winfield. "We talked about life in isolation and shared hobbies, she was very interested in my family and how I was coping without them. It's really cheered me up!"
Camilla even shared how she's coping amid the global health crisis and how it's been affecting her family. According to the official release from Clarence House, the duchess said the most difficult part of self-isolation was "not being able to hug her grandchildren."
The duchess also sent a warm message of support to all emergency and medical personnel on the frontlines. "As the proud President of the Royal Voluntary Service, I wanted to send my warmest thanks to all the NHS Volunteer Responders who have come forward in unprecedented numbers to offer help to the NHS," said Camilla.
Camilla's husband, Prince Charles, tested positive for the virus last month, which resulted in the royal couple needing to separately quarantine at their estate in Scotland. Now out of isolation, both have since reunited.
