Summary
One of the most famous couples in the world went online this week to speak with school children whose parents are working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, made a video call to pupils and staff from Casterton Primary Academy in Lancashire, in northwestern England.
One of the students told the duke that the “first William was called William the Conqueror.” The children then wanted to know, “What do you want to be called in a thousand years’ time?”
He laughed and said he didn’t think he could answer that.
It’s an excellent question—and one that is particularly meaningful on this Maundy Thursday.
