Like most working of us working from home, the royal family had to switch from in-person engagements to video conferencing. As the world shifts to operating like “normal” even as the pandemic continues to spread, social engagements will not be the same for a while.

The Duchess shared she was able to see her grandchildren for the first time. “Not hug them but see them, a great treat,” she said.
