"It's pure brilliance because it's so simple yet so effective," the Duchess said. "My heart is well and truly in it, so I'd really like to do anything to help all these wonderful people."

Since it was launched, the service has successfully been used by at least one person a day to help them access potentially life-saving support.

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall are said to be staying at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire during the UK's COVID-19 lockdown.
