The Prince of Wales is to officially open London's new NHS Nightingale Hospital which will treat intensive care Covid-19 patients, Clarence House has said.
Charles, who earlier this week completed self-isolation following his Covid-19 diagnosis, will launch the 4,000-bed temporary facility at the ExCel convention centre in east London today via video-link.
From his Scottish home of Birkhall, the leading royal is expected to say a few words in tribute to all those who have worked to create the new medical facility, and to people across the UK who continue to deliver frontline care to those affected by the coronavirus crisis.
