Cambridge Children “Clap for our Carers” in New Video

Tonight Kensington Palace released a new video of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis applauding health care workers. It is part of a UK-wide effort called #ClapforOurCarers, thanking those working on the front lines during the crisis.

To all the doctors, nurses, carers, GPs, pharmacists, volunteers and other NHS staff working tirelessly to help those affected by #COVID19: thank you. #ClapForOurCarers #ClapForCarers #ThankYouNHS #ClapForNHS

 At the end of the video, I think you hear a little giggle from Charlotte.

The royal applause didn’t go unnoticed; the NHS retweeted the video with #ThankYouNHS and three little crown emojis.  

The campaign was created to thank ‘doctors, nurses, carers, GPs, pharmacists, volunteers, and other NHS staff working tirelessly to help those affected by the coronavirus.’ Below, one of the graphics promoting tonight’s event. 

Earlier today the Royal Family social media accounts posted a message: “We are enormously thankful for the expertise and commitment of our scientists, medical practitioners and emergency and public services.”   

There is also a video of the Wessex family taking part.

Wembley tonight.

Another message promoting the event said, “During these unprecedented times they need to know that we are grateful,” asking people to join for “big applause from front doors, garden, windows, balconies, to show all who are working on the front line our appreciation for their ongoing hard work and fight against this virus.”  Below, the scene in Northampton.

And Glasgow. 

And in London. 

One gentleman tweeted a video of the scene in his neighborhood.

  This is right across the road from Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester.

Actor Daniel Craig and (I think) Rachel Weisz, his wife. You will see other James Bond co-stars in the video. 

Thank you to everyone, everywhere, who is working to keep us safe. #ClapForOurCarers #ClapForCarers #ClapForNHS pic.twitter.com/muULcU2vvy

 This was a lovely video for the Cambridges to post, shining a spotlight on those working so tirelessly during the pandemic, coming at a time when spirits may be flagging and anxiety increasing. I know all of us around the globe share the same gratitude for those working on the frontlines in our communities. May you and those you love stay safe and well.

This BBC video has a good roundup of some of the sights and sounds from #ClapforOurCarers.
