“Interesting listening to all your tales and stories and I'm very impressed by what you have achieved already,” she said in part of the call that was posted Thursday on the royal family's social media accounts.Elizabeth was last to join the call and the first to leave — one piece of royal protocol that Buckingham Palace opted to preserve.
During the call, she heard about the isolation and difficulties carers have been facing through the pandemic. There are around 7 million people across the U.K. caring on an unpaid basis for an ill or frail family member or friend. Most have no real experience; they just do it because they are husbands or wives, sons or daughters, or even a neighbor who wants to help out.
