The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been warned the nation faces dealing with “broken police officers and emergency services staff” too concerned with battling the pandemic to look after their mental health.
The comment came as William and Kate chatted with emergency responders and counsellors, and the duke shared his own experiences of seeing “death and so much bereavement” when an air ambulance pilot, and how it affected his world view.
William also revealed his concern for those on the front line of the country’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, saying he “really worries” about the effect on their lives of seeing “such high levels of sadness, trauma and death”.
