As we face quite unprecedented challenges, I did just want to let you know that you are very’ much in my special thoughts at such a very anxious time for everyone.

The disruption we have experienced to normal life has been profound and therefore I can well imagine the appalling difficulties you must be experiencing.

Nonetheless, I have no doubt that you will deal with these new circumstances with determination, imagination and resourcefulness. As you do so, please be assured of my support, my gratitude and my admiration.

HRH The Prince of Wales, Clarence House.
