He continued: “The truth is that the Royal Mail remains an incredibly important lifeline to us all, especially to the vulnerable, the lonely, and those who have to self-isolate.
Charles then went on to praise the Royal Mail’s role in the fightback against COVID.
“So many unsung heroes”
“There are so many unsung heroes and heroines working for the role of delivering COVID tests to home addresses and safely collecting the completed kids from a network of 35,000 priority postboxes, seven days a week,” he continued.
The service you provide makes such a difference to so many people.
“For what it is worth, I can only offer you my greatest possible thanks once again for what every single one of you continues to do day in and day out during these long days of lockdown.
“The service you provide makes such a difference to so many people, and we would truly be lost without you.”
The Duke will remain in hospital
Charles’ appearance comes after news that the Duke Of Edinburgh will spend another ‘several more days’ in hospital.
The Royal Family confirmed today (Tuesday February 23) that he is suffering from an infection.
However, a statement said that the Duke is “comfortable and responding to treatment.”
Prince Charles made a 200-mile round trip to see his father at the weekend.
