When the Prince and Princess of Wales visit the Royal Liverpool Hospital today, they probably won't spend much time in the facility's crisis-hit Accident and Emergency department.
William and Kate will undoubtedly be taken around one of the new hospital's shiny new wards and observe some of the state-of-the-art technology now being used, they will of course thank staff for their tireless efforts during this all consuming and exhausting NHS crisis.
I don't necessarily have an issue with that. It would probably be unhelpful to overwhelmed emergency department staff to have the royal couple and their teams visiting at this most difficult of moments.
