In the touching video, Kate and Wills meet a cute koala, named Grace, who lives at a wildlife park after being hit by a car.

โ€œShe looks very well looked-after, I have to say,โ€ William quipped as Catherine cooed next to him.

William also added a lovely anecdote about Australia, and its resilience in the face of challenge.

โ€œAussies are very good at looking out for each other and itโ€™s fantastic to see that youโ€™re all pulling together,โ€ he told workers from the wildlife zoo,โ€ he said.

William and Kate were impressed with that uncanny Aussie spirit.

For the special video appearance, Kate looked radiant as always, this time wearing a fitted yellow short-sleeved dress. The sunshine hue of the dress seemed rather fitting given its synonymy with Australia.

She kept her makeup minimal and wore her hair in its loose signature waves.

Kateโ€™s quickly become a Zoom call pro alongside her husband Prince William.
