"On this International Nurses Day my family and I want to join in the chorus of thank you to nursing and midwifery staff all over the country and, indeed, the world," the Prince of Wales says with a smile.

"It's amazing that you're able to continue to provide the support and care that you would normally provide even under these really difficult circumstances," Kate tells the group.
