Royal children George, Charlotte, and Louis joined the rest of the United Kingdom in saluting medical workers battling the coronavirus pandemic.

People across the UK joined a mass round of applause from their doorsteps, windows, and balconies at 8 pm on Thursday, March 26 (UK time) to show their gesture of thanks to the frontline staff.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate, posted an adorable video of their three children clapping.

It wrote, “To all the doctors, nurses, carers, GPs, pharmacists, volunteers, and other NHS staff working tirelessly to help those affected by #COVID19: thank you.”
