Here's where Her Majesty will stay during the outbreak
Despite cancellations announced on Tuesday amid the coronavirus pandemic — including— amid the coronavirus pandemic, she has been continuing with audiences with ambassadors and U.K. Prime Minster Boris Johnson.
But that is all coming to an end later this week. After meeting with Johnson and the commander of a new British aircraft carrier and the Bishop of Hereford, she is moving to Windsor Castle on Thursday, where she is usually based on weekends and was already set to stay for the annual Easter break. On Tuesday, her office at Buckingham Palace announced she will make the trip 30 miles west of London on and likely stay there after the Easter period. The celebration falls on April 12, and some royal experts believe that means she will stay well into May at the earliest.
It is a sensible move. Amid the warnings from the U.K. government that people should avoid gatherings with friends and family, as well as large gatherings and crowded places, such as pubs, clubs and theaters, it was becoming inevitable that the springtime celebrations with the Queen at their center would be shelved.
