The Duke of Cambridge has paid tribute to a 'much loved' nurse who died after contracting Covid-19 as he urged NHS executives to speak out about mental health. Prince William, 38, passed on his condolences after Estrella Catalan, 52, died earlier this month at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) where she had worked for 18 years. He also said the nation faced a 'very big waterfall of mental health issues' in the future and asked the executives about their own wellbeing. William voiced his concerns about the mental health support for executives around the virtual table when he inquired 'who's asking you how you're doing? Expanding on the the Duke's 'waterfall' comment, Ms Radmore, speaking after the call, said for patients the pandemic will have 'exacerbated some people's mental health problems, and may have created some new mental health problems'.
