“George has been very sick but the whole family has been rallying round to help.
“They are hugely grateful for the excellent care that he has been receiving.”
The source said they are “thinking of other families who are being similarly affected”.
A family spokesperson declined to comment.
Eugenie married Mr Brooksbank’s son, Jack, at Windsor Castle in 2018.
It was recently confirmed that The Queen will address the nation in a TV message on Sunday, April 5, amid the pandemic.
Queen to address the nation
A statement released by Buckingham Palace said: “On Sunday 5th April at 8pm (BST) Her Majesty The Queen will address the UK and the Commonwealth in a televised broadcast.
“As well as on television and radio, The Queen’s address will be shown on The @RoyalFamily’s social media channels.”
