Prince Charles made history when he became the first royal to open a hospital via a video link
made history today when he became the first royal to open a hospital via a video link. In what is likely to be become the new normal, at least while the U.K. remains in lockdown, the prince officially opened the new NHS Nightingale hospital in East London via a video link up.
Joking that he wasn’t close enough to unveil the plaque, he asked the hospital’s head of nursing staff to do the honor in his place, saying that he was “enormously touched” to have been asked to open the hospital which has been built for intensive care coronavirus patients. He called the new building a “message of hope for those who will need it most.
“He is a great and prolific letter-writer but he’s ambidextrous when it comes to working digitally,” said a source who works close to the royal. “He is very comfortable working on his laptop and has been editing and reading documents on his computer like the rest of us.” The Prince even managed an expert-level video chat fix, getting a better camera angle from his laptop by perching it on a pile of books, including his own 2012 book on climate change,. Like other royals the Prince has created a digital office at his home in Birkhall, where he has spent the past week recovering from a mild bout of COVID-19. In the video address he described himself as “one of the lucky ones” because he only suffered mild symptoms and is now out of isolation.
