An insider told Fabulous: “Kate Middleton ensures that Prince George, Princess Charlotte & Prince Louis speak to the Queen, known as ‘GAN GAN’ and Prince Philip as often as possible.
“The older two talk on the telephone or send chatty videos to Windsor.
“Prince Charles is also very much in touch with the Cambridge trio.
“They do like to chat away to Grandpa Charles and get lots of very helpful tips from him on animals and flowers, and speak to him about lambs, squirrels, highland cattle etc.”
It was announced that Prince Charles, 71, contracted coronavirus last month and suffered mild symptoms before getting the all-clear.
The insider added that “Cambridge handmade ‘get well’ cards were painted and dispatched on learning news of Charles getting the virus illness.”
The Queen currently has a skeleton team of staff at Windsor Castle where she is in isolation with her husband – 98-year-old Prince Philip.
The Queen was moved from Buckingham Palace more than two weeks ago after a footman came down with the virus.
Millions tuned into her TV address last night, where she spoke of the pain of being separated from loved ones.
She said: “Today, once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones. But now, as then, we know, deep down, that it is the right thing to do.”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have taken their young brood to Anmer Hall in Norfolk, which offers the kids the chance to run and play in the extensive grounds.
A source told Fabulous: “George, Charlotte and Louis are now relishing their freedom in the spacious gardens of Anmer Hall.
“Climbing frames, a climbing wall and swings are a big part of the Cambridge outdoors activity scene, and Kate will do pond dipping and note-taking to log what they have spotted.
“Birdwatching with binoculars is another favourite of the kids.”
While many Brits are confined to planning their one form of outside exercise a day during the coronavirus outbreak, with acres of grounds, Prince George, six, and Princess Charlotte, four, can explore all day long without getting bored.
According to the source, Norland nanny Maria Borrello is keen that the kids get “as much time as possible in the fresh air.”
