Prince William and Kate Middleton are in the middle of a historic trip to Ireland, with a goal of soothing post-Brexit tensions. During their visit to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin on Tuesday, William cracked a joke about the rising concern about Coronavirus.
Speaking with a National Ambulance Service paramedic, William joked that everyone “must be like, ‘I’ve got coronavirus, I’m dying’” – meanwhile, they just ‘have a cough.’” “Does it seem quite dramatic about coronavirus at the moment?” he added. “Is it being a little bit hyped up do you think in the media?”
Then, William jokingly apologized for “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spreading coronavirus.” All jokes aside, a royal source tells “People,” William and Kate are taking the coronavirus threat seriously, following guidance from Public Health England and the Department of Health.
