Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis joined the nation in applauding Britain's NHS workers tonight, as they helped lead a moving "Clap for Our Carers" moment.

The Cambridge family, who are at home in Norfolk, joined the nation in thanking the nurses, doctors, emergency services, and all those helping to battle the coronavirus pandemic.

The three children, who along with most youngsters in the country are now being homeschooled by their parents, have only been seen on "official" royal business on a handful of special occasions.

But it was thought that it was so important to recognise the sacrifices made by people across the country, who have prioritised patients and the greater good over their own personal lives, that they were allowed to join their parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

A video of the trio in the garden at Anmer Hall showed them clapping heartily and wearing NHS blue, smiling for the cameras as Prince Louis looked at his big brother and sister to check he was doing it right.

The film, taken by their parents, was posted on the Kensington Palace social media at 8pm on the dot to join the national moment, with the family said to also be participating in real time at home.
