Prince Charles Loved Watching Funny Videos During His Coronavirus Quarantine
When Prince Charles was self-isolating following his positive COVID-19 diagnosis, he, like most people, found joy in funny videos on the internet.
In a new article in Country Life magazine, the Prince of Wales is reflecting on his time in quarantine, focusing on the silver linings of this ongoing crisis now that he has recovered from the disease.
"We have seen the very best use of technology," he writes, "allowing people to keep working, but also to keep in touch through virtual parties, games, singing—and some of the funniest videos I have seen for a long time!"
Sadly, per the Telegraph, a spokesperson for Clarence House would not elaborate on what kind of videos the Prince is referencing here, but we like to think he just discovered "Charlie Bit My Finger."
We do know that the heir to the British throne been video-chatting with his grandchildren during this period of self-isolation.
"I think your father and my parents and our families and things like that have really loved keeping in touch with the children, because they know it’s really hard," Kate Middleton said to William in a recent interview with the BBC.
But, at least according to Prince William, there's been a bit of a learning curve.
"As you can imagine, the younger generation are a little bit more tech-savvy. But only just," William said. "I think we’re getting there now, the family are getting a little bit more used to being able to contact each other and pressing the right buttons and not dropping the computer halfway through."
In addition to offering a bit of insight into his own experience with COVID-19 in the latest issue of Country Life, Prince Charles reflected on the importance of farmers, and how this crisis is highlighting how critical the food supply chain is in the UK.
"When was the last time anyone gave the availability of a bottle of milk, or a loaf of bread, or fresh vegetables a second thought? Suddenly, these things are precious and valued. And this is how it always should be," he said.
"Food does not happen by magic. If the past few weeks have proved anything, it is that we cannot take it for granted. In this country there are 80,000 farmers producing our food—from the Fells of Cumbria, to the arable and vegetable lands of East Anglia; from the Welsh Mountains to the Scottish fishing villages; from the dairy fields of Cornwall and Northern Ireland to the orchards of Kent. Day in and day out, they are working to produce food—for us. And we owe them an enormous debt of gratitude."
