Members of the royal family have joined forces to create a rare video celebrating International Nurses' Day.
Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William, Princess Anne, the Countess of Wessex, and Princess Alexandra all took part in the special video message.
The video, posted to Kensington Palace's Twitter account, also shows the royals hosting video calls with healthcare professionals working in Australia, India, Malawi, Sierra Leone, the Bahamas, Cyprus, Tanzania, and the UK.
It's thought to be the first time a joint video of this kind has been created by the royal family, who have increasingly been undertaking more engagements using this method since the UK went into lockdown in March.
While the Queen didn't take part in the video calls, she did have a phone call with Professor Kathleen McCourt, the President of the Commonwealth Nurses and Midwives Federation and Fellow of the Royal College of Nursing.
A clip of the phone call — thought to be the first audio ever released of the Queen on the telephone — was included in the video.
