William, an ex-frontline worker with the air ambulance, said NHS staff have to absorb the pain and loneliness of dying coronavirus patients.
In a BBC video interview, he described lockdown for millions as “frustrating” and “stressful”.
William, 38, also spoke of his fears for Charles’s mental health after he came down with coronavirus last month and had to self-isolate.
He said: “I was a little bit worried, but my father has had many chest infections, colds and things like that over the years, and so I thought to myself, if anybody’s going to be able to beat this it is going to be him.
“And actually, he was very lucky he had mild symptoms. I think the hardest thing he found was having to stop and not be able to go and get a bit of fresh air and go for a walk. He’s a mad walker.He loves his walking.
“So I think he found it quite difficult, especially also, I think, with his mental health.”
The Queen, 93, and 98-year-old Duke of Edinburgh are also isolated at Windsor Castle.
Wills added: “We are doing everything we can to make sure they are isolated, away and protected. But it does worry me.”
