Princess Beatrice’s Husband-to-Be Tweets Idea to Help the Elderly During Coronavirus Outbreak

Princess Beatrice‘s soon-to-be husband is calling for kindness.

Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, whose wedding to Queen Elizabeth‘s granddaughter is scheduled for May 29, shared an idea he’d seen on Twitter to help the elderly during the coronavirus outbreak around the world.

“A great idea just seen on Twitter. Would it be possible for the supermarkets to only allow elderly shoppers in first, so that they can shop before the rest of us, as the shops will be clean/disinfected, and before the shelves are all cleared,” he wrote, adding the hashtag #elderlyhour.

When a Twitter user responded that Finland already had that practice in place, Edoardo replied, “That’s is fantastic. Come on UK Supermarkets,” tagging large chains.

Edoardo’s family is from Italy, which has been hit hard by coronavirus. Italy, which has seen the largest outbreak outside of China, has been under lockdown since March 10.
