Prince Harry had recently video-called with the Charity ‘WellChild’ in a from his new home in L.
A. One mother who has also joined the Duke during the call praised him saying he is ”lovely” and “it came at just the right time.”
Leanne Cooper’s daughter Sophie, 13, has cerebral palsy, scoliosis, dystonia and also suffering from other health issues. The teen also appeared on the screen during their video call with Harry.
During the conversation, Leanne revealed to presenters Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford that she had met The Duke of Sussex “quite a few times and he’s lovely.”
She said: “He’s always been so supportive. What’s really, really lovely is that he always remembers Sophie, that’s really special. Because of the level of care that’s needed to make sure Sophie thrives at home, there is a lot of things that go on behind closed doors to help care for her and are actually not often recognized.”
She explained how the video call came at the right time amid the coronavirus lockdown. The mother added: “Actually the call from Prince Harry on the weekend, especially at lockdown, just came at the right time. It was really lovely.”
Leanne also talked about how the WellChild charity whose patron is Prince Harry is taking care of the needs of her and other families amid the crisis.
She continued: “There is a lot of information out there, but not a lot for vulnerable families and certainly not for children with complex medical needs.”
“If we’re in a position where carers can’t come to work because they might be symptomatic, there is no way we would survive when Sophie needs care seven nights a week, seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. It is terrifying.”
The parents also told Harry about the struggles to get food items during the video call. To which The Duke replied, “Hopefully through this video and other things we will make it clear and obvious to the government that you guys are in the vulnerable bracket.”
“Everyone is experiencing the same thing in a very unique way. The longer this goes on for certainly the harder it is for every one of you.”
