Covid 19 coronavirus: The royal children's adorable tribute to healthcare workers

Their parents have been publicly showing their support for the health system as Covid-19 spreads throughout the UK - and now Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have shared a very cute tribute for health workers battling the virus.

An adorable video of the three royal children clapping was shared on the Kensington Royal Instagram page today, captioned: "To all the doctors, nurses, carers, GPs, pharmacists, volunteers and other NHS staff working tirelessly to help those affected by #COVID19: thank you."

Earlier this week, words from the Duke of Cambridge were shared on Instagram alongside a photo of him and Kate meeting with NHS staff.

"Catherine and I were proud to visit staff working at NHS 111, to pass on our personal thanks, along with those of my grandmother and father, to staff working around the clock to provide care and advice to those that need it most," the caption read.

"The last few weeks, and more recent days have been understandably concerning with the continuing spread of coronavirus.

Catherine and I were proud to visit staff working at NHS 111, to pass on our personal thanks, along with those of my grandmother and father, to staff working around the clock to provide care and advice to those that need it most. • The last few weeks, and more recent days have been understandably concerning with the continuing spread of coronavirus. • But it’s at times like this when we realise just how much the NHS represents the very best of our country and society – people from all backgrounds and walks of life with different experiences and skills, pulling together for the common good. • Not only are NHS staff and emergency workers responding to the needs of the public, they – like the rest of us – are concerned about their families, friends and loved ones. • They need our support as much as we need theirs. • All of us have a part to play if we’re going to protect the most vulnerable. • That means acting on the latest expert advice, staying home if we or those we live with have symptoms, and avoiding non-essential contact to help reduce the spread of the virus. • — The Duke of Cambridge

"But it's at times like this when we realise just how much the NHS represents the very best of our country and society – people from all backgrounds and walks of life with different experiences and skills, pulling together for the common good."

The duke continued to encourage people to stay at home to stop the spread of the virus.

The continuing encouragement from the royal family comes after the Queen's message was shared on Instagram earlier this week.

"We know that many individuals and families across the United Kingdom, and around the world, are entering a period of great concern and uncertainty ... our nation's history has been forged by people and communities coming together to work as one, concentrating our combined efforts with a focus on the common good," the message read.

The rest of the country joined in the royal children's tribute as people across the UK flocked to their windows and doorways to celebrate health workers with applause in the Clap for Carers campaign.

Landmarks throughout the country were lit up in blue and fireworks set off in honour of the healthcare professionals working around the clock to battle Covid-19.
