Kate and william's 'fascinating' duty reveals never-before-seen side

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took part in a video call with a school in Lancashire to thank staff for their dedication in providing a safe place for children of frontline workers. The

virtual royal engagement was praised as "down-to-earth" and "engaging" by ABC News foreign correspondent Maggie Rulli. Ms Rulli joined HeirPod host Omid Scobie to speak

about Kate and William's continued work during the coronavirus crisis. She told listeners: "I thought they way they did the call with the kids over Zoom was so significant.

"This is another example of the royals using what's at their disposal right now, kind of like what everyone else is doing working from home. "So to see them doing that as well

to fulfil their royal duties is always just so fascinating and makes them very relatable. "I also thought they just came across as so relatable and likeable during this call."

it was a screen grab so you saw what the kids were seeing, the two of them facing the computer. "They were just full big smiles, their smiles filled up the whole screen. "They were

ever so likeable in it, so friendly, so outgoing, so engaging. "I think it was a side of them that you don't always see." The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are currently

isolating in their Norfolk home with their family. The Queen and Prince Philip left London to distance themselves in Windsor Castle. Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, are

staying in their Birkhall residence on the Balmoral estate in Scotland. The royal couple were intially forced to isolate from each other when the Prince of Wales tested positive for

coronavirus. However, after Charles recovered and Camilla isolated for two weeks, they are now reunited.
