Prince Harry Praises British Response to COVID-19

On Sunday, April 19, 2020, a new podcast was released that featured Prince Harry. In the interview, Harry was seen speaking about Britain’s response to the novel coronavirus disease.

During the “Declassified” podcast, Prince Harry praised the way people across the UK have joined together amid COVID-19. Speaking about how veterans were stepping up to give aid, the prince said he felt “incredibly proud.”

Harry said: “I’m honoured to be a veteran, and honoured to be part of that community.” He added: “I think what has happened especially in the U.K. is the very best of the human spirit.”

Harry worked with Team Rubicon before

During the episode, the main focus was on the work of Team Rubicon UK. The organization responds to disasters by using a military approach to help those in need.
