Queen Elizabeth II is protecting herself against coronavirus by relocating from her Buckingham Palace home to Windsor Castle, the royal family announced Tuesday. She will migrate to Windsor Castle for the Easter period on Thursday 19th March, one week earlier than planned. It is likely the brittle 93-year-old will stay there beyond the Easter period.

“As a sensible precaution and for practical reasons in the current circumstances, a number of changes are being made to The Queen’s diary,” said the royal family.

“Audiences due to take place this week at Buckingham Palace will go ahead as planned. These include receiving the Prime Minister, the Commanding Officer of HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH and the Bishop of Hereford. Future Audiences will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, in line with the appropriate advice.”

“In consultation with the Medical Household and Government, a number of public events with large numbers of people due to have been attended by The Queen, and other Members of the Royal Family, in the coming months will be cancelled or postponed.”
