Prince William on Wednesday appeared to question the media's coverage of a global outbreak of a novel form of coronavirus during a reception hosted by the U.K.'s ambassador to Ireland.
During the event, at which William and wife Kate Middleton were speaking with emergency service workers, the duke of Cambridge asked one paramedic if the global coverage of the outbreak seemed a bit "hyped up," according to Sky News.
"I bet everyone's like, 'I've got coronavirus, I'm dying,' and you're like, 'No, you've just got a cough,' " the prince reportedly said.
"Does it seem quite dramatic about coronavirus at the moment? Is it being a little bit hyped up, do you think, in the media?" he then asked.
