Prince William Jokes About 'Spreading Coronavirus'

Prince William Jokes About 'Spreading Coronavirus'at Royal Engagement in Dublin

“By the way, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are spreading coronavirus. Sorry!”

Prince William joked about the deadly coronavirus outbreak during a royal visit to Dublin’s Guinness Storehouse in Ireland on Tuesday.

“I bet everyone’s like, ‘I’ve got coronavirus, I’m dying,’ and you’re like, ‘No, you’ve just got a cough,'” the Duke of Cambridge quipped to first responder Joe Mooney, according to video footage of their exchange. He added: “It does seem quite dramatic about coronavirus at the moment. Is it being a little hyped up, do you think, by the media?”

Sounds like something his grandfather would have said. Oh well, they all apparently believe in and support homeopathy so I guess it kinda ties-in.

No intention of “keeping up.”

Facebook and twitter folks can keep on with their bad selves.

Not for me.
