Prince Harry has praised NHS workers and volunteers across the UK for their hard work during the coronavirus pandemic.
During a podcast called Declassified, he also praised 99-year-old Captain Tom Moore, who has raised more than £25million for the NHS.
Prince Harry said the effort by people around the country proves that "things are better than we are led to believe through certain corners of the media."
Praising the World War Two veteran, the Duke of Sussex said: "Congratulations to Tom, I think what he's done is utterly amazing."
Prince Harry, a fellow army veteran who served with the Blues and Royals and the Army Air Corps, said the UK public's support for Capt Moore's efforts was "just wonderfully British".
He added: "I’m just so incredibly proud to see what these individuals up and down the country and across the world are doing.
"It’s also proving that I think things are better than we’re led to believe through certain corners of the media.
"It can be very worrying when you’re sitting there and the only information you are getting is from certain news channels, but then if you are out and about or you are on the right platforms, you can really sense this human spirit coming to the forefront."
Harry, who now lives in Los Angeles after he and wife Meghan Markle officially gave up their royal duties last month, also thanked NHS workers and volunteers who have been working tirelessly to treat Covid-19 patients.
He said: "I want to say a huge thank you, as we all do, to all of the NHS workers and everybody that's volunteering."
Harry added that he hopes Brits will continue volunteering once the crisis ends.
"It just makes me incredibly proud to see the Brits stepping up like this, but I really, really hope that this keeps going after coronavirus and after this whole pandemic has come to a close.
"It's about selflessness rather than selfishness and I think in today's culture, in today's world, we need more role models that are willing to put others ahead of themselves."
However some of Harry's remarks have come under fire. Professor Karol Sikora, a former Number 10 adviser, said Harry's comments were "outrageous", reports The Sun.
He added: "Journalists have been reporting the facts and have been doing great work in holding the Government to account.
"The media has also championed the NHS and become a key ally of doctors, nurses and key workers. They should be applauded, not vilified."
