As COVID-19 affects the lungs and airways, it has become more important than ever for people with asthma to have access to the support they need.
.
🌎 On #WorldAsthmaDay and #CharityTuesday, The Duchess of Gloucester has sent a message to @AsthmaUK and others supporting people with asthma at this time.
.
“To everyone contributing to these efforts - whether it’s in person, over the telephone or virtually - I know you are under extraordinary pressure to keep people with asthma safe, and you are doing an extraordinary job. Thank you.”
.
HRH has been Patron of @AsthmaUK since 1975. Visit our stories to read the message in full.
.
📷 The Duchess also joined a call with Chief Executive Kay, services lead Helen and asthma nurse Caroline from @AsthmaUK yesterday, to hear more about their work at this busy time. This includes:
.
📞A specialist asthma helpline, which saw eight times more calls than normal during March.
❓Advice on shielding, inhaler shortages and support for key workers with children in high-risk groups.
👥Online health advice from in-house experts.
💻A new, dedicated Post-COVID online hub and helpline, set up to support anyone affected by breathing difficulties after contracting COVID-19.

The Earl and Countess of Wessex joined volunteers @salutethenhs earlier this week to prepare food packs for NHS frontline workers across the UK.

The @salutethenhs initiative is providing meals and care packages to support the work of ICU, A&E and anaesthetic teams across the UK.

The Earl and Countess thanked the volunteers for their contributions to the @salutethenhs initiative, which is aiming to deliver one million meals to @nhs staff. 👏

💂🥁 Did you watch Her Majesty’s Official Birthday ceremony at Windsor Castle this morning?

Typically, the Sovereign’s Official Birthday is marked with a Parade called Trooping of the Colour. This year, for the first time since 1955, Trooping of the Colour didn’t take place in its traditional form.

Instead, the @welshguards performed a pared back ceremony for The Queen, with music from the Band of the @householddivision.

Her Majesty, the Battalion’s Colonel-in-Chief, took the Royal Salute at the ceremony and watched a series of military drills - swipe to see a timelapse of this morning’s impressive display.

🌺🌻Marking the end of #ChildrensHospiceWeek, The Duchess of Cambridge met with staff from @eachhospices care and facilities teams to thank them for the incredible work that they do.

The Duchess joined some of the hospice’s patients and families to plant a garden for The Nook, one of EACH’s purpose-built hospices.

Using plants bought during her visit to Fakenham Garden Centre last week, The Duchess of Cambridge worked alongside an @eachhospices volunteer gardener to plant a garden that will provide enjoyment for children and families.
