The Duchess of Cambridge penned a letter to all of the staff at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists to let them know she is thinking of them at this ‘difficult time.’
Taking to Twitter, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists shared a letter written by Kate Middleton, 38, and captioned the post:
‘Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge, Royal Patron of the RCOG, has written a thoughtful letter to thank the College for their work on #coronavirus.’
In the letter, dated 14th April, the royal praised staff for their ‘longstanding expertise in supporting the delivery of high quality women’s healthcare’ – adding it could not be more ‘crucial’ now we are in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

The mother-of-three expressed her gratitude to staff working tirelessly during the pandemic, and highlighted what she had learnt during her Early Years work.
The duchess penned: ‘I know that the guidance and resources you have developed to inform and support both healthcare professionals and the general public on coronavirus infection are of fundamental importance to ensure pregnant women are given the best possible care over the coming weeks and months.
‘Through my work around early childhood, I have learnt that our experiences during our earliest years, even while we are still in the womb, shape not only our evolving minds and bodies but all aspects of our development.’
‘At this particularly anxious time, it is therefore more crucial than ever that we provide the right care for pregnant woman and new mothers.’

The royal went on to thank staff for their ‘continued work,’ before sending her ‘very best wishes for the months ahead.’
It comes a week after the Duchess of Cambridge penned a letter to express her ‘sincere appreciation’ to staff working at Action For Children.
In the letter shared by the charity on Twitter, the royal wrote: ‘I’m writing to express my sincere appreciation to all of you at Action for Children during this hugely unsettling time.’
And just a day earlier, Evelina London Children’s Hospital took to social media and commented: ‘It was wonderful to receive an uplifting message from our Patron HRH, The Duchess of Cambridge, for all our hardworking staff and volunteers.’
In the letter the mother-of-three penned: ‘It is heartening to know you are still very much open for business and continuing to provide expert care to sick children despite the challenging circumstances.’
