PRINCE William and Kate are sharing the home-schooling duties as they lead the Royal fight against coronavirus, a source has revealed.

The royal pair are juggling their duties with parenting, as millions of Brits also take on the challenge with their kids at home amid the virus crisis.

Both parents are said to have been pitching in to help the kids while they are at home

Kate was pictured last week keeping tabs on organisations she works with while social distancing

Prince William was also pictured working hard as he leads the royals response to COVID-19

A source told the Sun Online: “For Kate and William, like any other parent, one of the main priorities for them right now is helping to keep a settled home-environment for their children.

“That’s why they have both been keeping very involved in helping George with his work.

“And they’ve been putting on lots of activities for Charlotte as well as making time for play with Louis.

“Kate is leading on most of the teaching. She spends time every day doing something with them.

“But William is also rolling up his sleeves and getting stuck in as well. They’ve both found the experience hugely rewarding but it has underlined to them the amazing job our teachers do.”

It comes after we revealed Prince William wants to “do his bit” to help fight the coronavirus pandemic as an air ambulance pilot — though royal duties may prevent his return.

The Duke of Cambridge, 37, spent two years flying medics to emergencies before stepping down in 2017.

But William has privately said he wants to get back in the cockpit and help out on the front line.

During a visit to a NHS call centre earlier this month he revealed that he missed working in the life-saving role.

However, he is one of only a few senior royals currently working.

Prince Charles is recovering from coronavirus, Andrew is not working due to the Epstein scandal and Harry and Meghan have quit for Hollywood.

A source said: “William has been seriously considering returning as an air ambulance pilot to help in the current pandemic.

“He knows the whole country is doing its bit and he wants to help. But it’s complicated as he was originally grounded from the job so that he could become a senior working royal.”

GRIM TOLL

It comes as 381 people including a teen with no underlying health conditions died in 24 hours.

Britain’s grim death toll now stands at 1,789 with 25,150 positive Covid-19 cases – up 2,706 from yesterday.

The latest figures from the Department of Health reveal 381 people have died in 24 hours after a rise of 180 deaths in the same time period yesterday.

William and Kate have been front and centre in recent days providing support to the nation during a time of crisis.

They’ve appeared at a string of events including visiting those working in the frontline health fight.

It comes after Prince Charles had to spend over a week in isolation getting over the virus. And the Queen is likely to remain in Windsor until the pandemic is over.

The source added: “William knows the burden of responsibility is on his shoulders at the moment but it is weight he is happy to carry.

“He wants to help lead a crusade against the virus and support all the amazing people, especially in the NHS, are working so hard to defeat it. Prince Charles is also keen to get back and support the fight in the weeks ahead.”

The royal children joined in with the clap to thank the NHS for working so hard
