The 94-year-old monarch has told the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge numerous times that “they’re doing a wonderful job,” a source told Us Weekly

“The wonderful thing about Kate and William is that they remain focused and calm even during their most challenging times,” the source told the publication.

“She couldn’t be prouder. She takes pride in being on top of everything but recognises that it’s time to hand off some responsibility.”

William and Kate have stepped up during the coronavirus crisis, and have continued to carry out their royal roles, even during lockdown.

The Duke and Duchess have embraced social media in a way that was traditionally frowned upon by the monarchy and are leading the way for the royal family.

The couple have bravely taken to platforms such as Instagram in a way they never did before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The details come after Queen Elizabeth II took time out to surprise New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern with a phonecall.

Taking to Instagram Jacinda revealed that she and Queen Elizabeth II caught up to discuss how the country are coping amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“A few days ago we got a wee note to say that the Queen wanted to catch up and see how everyone in New Zealand was getting on in the midst of COVID-19,” Ardern captioned a pic of her in mid-conversation with the monarch.

“It was such a treat to speak with Her Majesty tonight. Her affection for New Zealand, her interest in what’s happening here and her memory of places and events that are special to us never ceases to amaze me.”

New Zealand is part of the Commonwealth of Nations which includes 54 countries of which the Queen is the head, so it is no surprise that Her Majesty wanted to check in with the country during this trying time.

After close to five weeks of strict lockdowns, New Zealand are slowly starting to relax their measures.
