Taking to Instagram, the royal, 29, shared a photograph of key workers holding up a large box of fresh fruit and vegetables, and penned: ‘Thank you to @food_republic_wholesale for delivering boxes to key workers at St Mary’s Paddington.’

In a second post, she went on to praise a new ‘amazing initiative’ by @project_wingman2020, which was set up at the beginning of April for furloughed airline crew to volunteer at hospitals across the UK and to help give staff some first class treatment.

She encouraged: ‘If you are furloughed cabin crew or would like to support the project with supplies then please get in touch via Instagram.’
