Kate Garraway reveals Royal Family member who helped her during time of need

Kate Garraway has revealed that Prince Charles helped her during her time of need during her husband’s Covid battle.

Luckily, he managed to recover and is now back home after the terrifying ordeal.

However at the Prince’s Trust Awards, Kate thanked Prince Charles for his help and she personally thanked him for helping her during the tough time, reports the Sun.

“One day I received a letter from a member of the Royal Family, offering the services of a Royal physician,” Kate wrote in the memoir.

“How lovely, I thought, although it seemed utterly surreal.”

Since contracting Covid, Derek has suffered from several complications including brain inflammation and damage to the lungs, kidneys, heart and liver.

“The doctors believe that there will be a trajectory but that it will be very slow.”

“Derek will still sleep for 20 hours a day, for example.”

Derek receives round-the-clock care after returning to his family home and, although he is able to communicate, Kate has realised that he is unable to communicate as he did before contracting coronavirus.

Kate’s royal revelation comes as she announced she will be replacing Piers Morgan as the host of ITV’s Life Stories.

Kate told how she already has a list of celebs she wants to speak to before being congratulated by ITV colleague Ranvir Singh, who said everyone at the channel is thrilled for her.

Kate replied: “I have to go through the gambit of being interviewed by him on Life Stories first, before he goes off to pastures new.

“It will be lovely and I’ve got a big list of people I want to talk to.”

Top of that list is Sir Tom Jones and Dawn French.

Ranvir joked: “Prepare yourself. It’s like being in a therapy chair.”

The episode is likely to centre on Kate’s battle to help hubby Derek Draper with long Covid and It will air before the end of the year.
