PRINCE WILLIAM

-

Britain’s Prince William revealed that he has been anonymousl­y helping out on a crisis helpline during the coronaviru­s lockdown. “I’m going to share a little secret with you guys, but I’m actually on the platform volunteeri­ng," the Duke of Cambridge told fellow volunteers for Shout 85258, an around-the-clock text messaging helpline developed by the Royal Foundation, in a video call posted to social media over the weekend. More than 300,000 text conversati­ons have taken place between the over 2,000 formally trained volunteers and those needing mental health support. William’s wife, Duchess Kate, also shared a photo of the prince with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, photograph­ed after the family packed and delivered food to isolated locals amid the coronaviru­s crisis.
