Last Sunday, Prince William opened up about life amid the pandemic as he practices social distancing with his wife Kate Middleton and their three children Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2, in their home.

The Duke recorded a video message for the Church of England's weekly online Sunday service to mark Mental Health week coming to a close. In the video, he spoke about the far-reaching effects the COVID-19 crisis has had on the UK and opened up about how he and his family are coping with the situation. 

Prince William revealed that he and his wife Kate Middleton have found “comfort” amid adversity through the kindness many have shown in the times of the pandemic. 

"Catherine and I have both found great comfort in the wonderful acts of kindness we have seen right across the nation,” The Duke of Cambridge is heard saying in the video.

Fitting, seeing as the theme for this year’s mental health week was 'kindness.'

As the world grapples with the ongoing pandemic, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been recording video messages and joining ZOOM calls with various charities to keep spirits high. They also highlighted the bravery of essential workers and their families, who put themselves at risk every day as they work on the frontlines. 

The past week saw the Royals reach out to many Scottish charities as well, including the PEEK Project —Possibilities for Each and Every Kid—which has been serving over 300 meals per day to families from their truck. 

In his video message for the Sunday Church Service, Prince William encouraged listeners to open up about their mental health struggles.

"Now more than ever, it is important that we talk to one another about issues that we're struggling with,” he said. “And it is OK to not feel OK."

The Cambridge also recently appeared in a BBC documentary, Football, Prince William, and our Mental Health, where he discussed his own struggles with mental health and revealed that becoming a father brought back memories and emotions regarding his late mother, Diana.
