Kate Garraway appears to have confirmed the identity of the mystery Royal who helped support her during her husband Derek Draper's Covid battle.
During her appearance at the Prince's Trust awards event on Thursday afternoon, the Good Morning Britain star, 54, spoke to Prince Charles about his kindness, which she referenced in her memoir The Power Of Hope.
Kate said: 'And you might not remember but you were very kind to me because my husband got very sick with Covid after the last Prince's Trust awards. You wrote to me and gave me help, so thank you very much… and he did improve.'
Kate initially wrote about the gesture in her book, yet did not confirm the Royal's name - leading to Thursday's revelation over the identity being Charles, who battled the virus himself last year.

In The Power Of Hope, which she released in April, she wrote: 'One day I received a letter from a member of the Royal Family, offering the services of a Royal physician. How lovely, I thought, although it seemed utterly surreal.'
Kate is a carer for her husband Derek, who continues to battle 'devastating' effects of long Covid, after falling ill with coronavirus in March 2020.
The virus wreaked havoc throughout his entire body, resulting in kidney failure, liver and pancreatic damage.
On more than one occasion his heart stopped beating, he battled bacterial pneumonia and fought multiple infections which punctured holes in his lungs.
