Adorable Video Shows The Royal Cambridge Children Clapping For Healthcare Workers

Mar 27, 2020 by apost team

One of the only positives to come out of the Coronavirus pandemic is society's acknowledgement of all of the incredible work that healthcare workers and other essential needs staff are doing to enable life to move on for the rest of us. After the movement #ClapForNHS began trending, Prince William and Kate Middleton's children George, Charlotte, and Louis, joined in to honor those working in healthcare. A video of the Cambridge children was uploaded to Twitter and it's absolutely adorable.

Posted to the Kensington Palace Twitter account, the accompanying text wrote: "To all the doctors, nurses, carers, GPs, pharmacists, volunteers and other NHS staff working tirelessly to help those affected by #COVID19: thank you.#ClapForOurCarers #ClapForNHS."

The video shows the three children standing in a garden in front of a stone wall with beautiful purple flowers behind them, as they eagerly clap while smiling into the camera. Charlotte, aged four, stands on the left, her smile the biggest of the children. Youngest Louis, nearly two years old, is between his brother and sister. In a sweet moment midway through clapping, he glances at both his brother and sister as if to check whether they're still clapping as well. Finally, George, the eldest at six years old, stands on the other side of Lous.

The three children are growing up so fast, with Louis' fast development an especially big shock to Twitter users. Some commented: "Look at boss baby Louis!!!" and "Prince Louis is so big!" Other commenters debated whether the children know what the NHS is or why they are clapping, but that is besides the point of this nice gesture.

Outfitted in complementary shades of blue and navy, Charlotte wore a striped long-sleeve shirt and George donned a navy polo shirt, while Louis stood out in an electric blue sweater. The entire video is lovely and calming, bringing some positive joy in this hectic time.

NHS stands for the National Health Service, the UK's public healthcare system. It's an incredible message that the country is partaking in a widespread campaign to thank its workers. It's also a personal moment for the Cambridge children and royal family in this time, as only days ago Prince Charles, the childrens' grandfather, tested positive for COVID-19 – the disease caused by the novel Coronavirus. He is in quarantine in Scotland, while the rest of the royal family remain isolated separately. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are in Windsor, Prince William and Kate Middleton are in Anmer Hall, and Prince Harry and Meghan are already back in Canada.

It's a hard time and to see that even the royal family aren't immune to this virus is shocking for many. For now, we can only be vigilant and focus on the positive, and be thankful that we have the NHS working hard to support everybody.

What did you think of the Cambridge children clapping to say thank you to NHS workers? Let us know in the comments and be sure to pass this on to your family and friends.
