The royal parents of three took turns calling out the numbers in the game, which they conducted over video chat, at the Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff, Wales, on Wednesday before chatting with some of the carers and residents.
'Catherine is going to pick out the first ball,' William said as Kate held the ball up to the screen for the residents to see, saying, “So, the first number is five and eight, 58.”
William then chose a ball and held it up to the screen, calling out: “One little duck, number two,” followed by Kate calling out the next two balls: “Eight and seven, 87. Six and two, tickety-boo,' she said, using the traditional bingo lingo.
As they spoke to residents after the game, Kate told Margaret Stocks, “Hi Margaret. Lovely to meet you, how did you get on?”
Stocks responded, 'We won one line in the bingo,” to which Kate replied, “Oh fantastic, well done!”

“If there’s hopefully some positivity that comes out of this horrendous time, it is that there’s a light shone on all of the wonderful things you all do and on the social care sector, and it allows people to acknowledge, respect and appreciate everything that you are doing,' William said during the call.

William and Kate's call was one of a series in recent weeks to those on the frontlines of the pandemic. The couple has wanted to hear from care workers about their experiences and to say thanks for looking after the most vulnerable in society.

William was told about the measures that caregivers have taken, including by self-isolating from their own families, and the impact it has had on their own mental health. William and Kate have been highlighting the need to support those working on the frontlines against the virus and have backed a new service, Our Frontline, to support key workers.
