Prince William Is Seriously Considering Returning to Work as an Ambulance Pilot, Royal Source Says
The British royal family is working diligently to support the people of the U.K. and the Commonwealth amid the global coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. Queen Elizabeth II has fled London and has retreated to Windsor with Prince Philip because of their advanced ages. Prince Charles was recently diagnosed with the virus but is said to be in good health. He is isolating in Scotland with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex are isolating and social distancing in Los Angeles, California.
Therefore, Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge are trying to hold down the fort in their country home at Norfolk as the leading royal faces taking charge of the pandemic. Thus far, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have spoken with NHS health workers and they’ve enlisted their adorable children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis to show their gratitude to healthcare workers in an adorable video.
However, it seems like Prince William is itching to do more during this troubling time. The prince is reportedly hoping to return to his former career as an ambulance pilot to support those in need.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have been closely watching the coronavirus crisis
Amid the explosion of the coronavirus across the globe, the Cambridges have remained a calm and reliable force when it comes to spreading accurate information to the people of the U.K.
“The last few weeks have been anxious and unsettling for everyone,” the royal couple said. “We have to take time to support each other and find ways to look after our mental health. It is great to see the mental health sector working together with the NHS to help people keep on top of their mental well-being. By pulling together and taking simple steps each day, we can all be better prepared for the times ahead.”
Prior to going into full isolation, the pair visited with NHS workers to offer their support. They ‘ve also shared an adorable video of their children clapping for doctors, nurses, carers, GPs, pharmacists, volunteers and other NHS staff working tirelessly to help those affected by #COVID19.
The British royal family has come together amid the pandemic
Though there were clearly some tensions lingering amid Megxit, it seems that the coronavirus crisis has drawn the royals closer together. Following Prince Charles’ diagnosis, Prince Harry reportedly wanted to return home. However, his father urged him that that was unnecessary.
“Meghan told her inner circle of friends that Harry has been communicating with Prince William and the Queen on a pretty consistent basis,” an insider told Daily Mail. “She said this world crisis has actually brought them all closer together, especially Harry and his brother. Harry has made it very clear to them that he will do whatever he can to help from Canada. Meghan said they are grateful, especially Harry, that they could spend time with his family before all this insanity began.”
Prince William wants to return to work an ambulance pilot
Like many of us, the future king wants to do his part to help those in need, especially as many hospitals across the globe reach capacity. “William has been seriously considering returning as an air ambulance pilot to help in the current pandemic,” an alleged insider told The Sun. “He knows the whole country is doing its bit and he wants to help. But it’s complicated as he was originally grounded from the job so that he could become a senior working royal. That role is even more important now given that Charles has been ill, Harry has walked away with Meghan, and Andrew has been effectively barred from public life. But William is very keen to do anything he can to help.”
We’re not certain how feasible that is considering the prince’s current position in the royal family, but it’s nice to hear that he wants to help in a very real way.
