Britain’s Prince William and his wife Kate took their three young children, George, Charlotte and Louis, to see ‘Pantoland’, a popular UK Christmas show on Friday. In addition to enjoying the theater, William, second in line to the British throne, delivered a short speech to thank and pay tribute to medical personnel and other front-line workers for their efforts to keep the country running during the pandemic.

This family outing, the first time the five members appear together at a red carpet event, has closed a week in which Prince William and his wife Kate have taken a three-day train tour of Wales and Scotland to meet and thank frontline workers, nursing home staff, and teachers for their efforts during the pandemic. The ‘Pantoland’ session the family attended was a special event organized precisely in recognition of the city’s essential workers and their families.

Before starting the performance, Guillermo gave a short speech. ‘Thanks to all the workers, volunteers, teachers, emergency and military representatives, researchers working on the vaccine, people who help the homeless, charities … you have given everything this year and have made a huge sacrifice. Also your families, who surely have seen you less than they would have liked. You have made a difference and the country thanks you, ‘said Isabel II’s grandson.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the theater walking a red carpet with their three children, who stopped to watch actors dressed as elves waving and juggling. The show ‘Pantoland’ is presented as a ‘magical journey’ and a ‘pantomime’, and is staged at the London Palladium in the British capital. Performers for the show include actor and comedian Julian Clary and singer Elaine Paige, who were later greeted by the royal family.
