This week, Kate Middleton and Prince William returned to their official royal duties after taking a break during the vacations. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined a virtual chat on Wednesday to share images of their video call.

The royal couple was confirmed to be at their country home, Anmer Hall (opens in new tab) in Norfolk last Saturday (their children held a tea party for Kate's birthday (opens in new tab)), which is currently blockaded in the UK Therefore, it is safe to assume that Will and Kate were participating in a video call from there.

In the background is a cream-colored sofa with decorative pillows, houseplants, and a table on which the Cambridges appear to have placed several family photos. Not surprisingly, since the Windsors' love of porcelain is well known (opens in new tab).

The purpose of the call was to let the Royal couple know about the counseling and bereavement support being offered to help essential workers during the pandemic. Hospice U.K., a national charity, opened a "Just 'B'" helpline in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 crisis to help frontline workers cope with loss and trauma. The Duke and Duchess partnered with NHS England, NHS Improvement, and the Department of Health and Social Care to fund the helpline through the Royal Foundation's COVID-19 response fund.

During the meeting, Will and Kate heard from Just 'B' counselors and NHS staff who have benefited from the Helpline's services.
