Queen Elizabeth II (94) is in Corona isolation at Windsor Castle, and that could last for a while, according to British media reports. Buckingham Palace in London, which is currently closed to tourists due to the coronavirus pandemic, has nevertheless become a prominent visitor. Prime Minister Boris Johnson (55) is apparently allowed to do sports in the garden of the palace, reports the "Daily Telegraph". The reason for the unusual training area: There are safety concerns because of Johnson's habit of jogging in public.
Photos that the newspaper presents show that he is actually walking in the Queen's garden: the head of government was photographed when he arrived in an armored Range Rover at a side entrance to the palace. He later returned to Downing Street in sportswear: the 55-year-old wore a red t-shirt, blue shorts and sneakers. In addition to the large gardens, Buckingham Palace also has a tennis court – does Johnson use it too?
Johnson wants to get fit again
The Telegraph quotes a source: "The Prime Minister has trained on the Buckingham Palace grounds. It is important that the Prime Minister can exercise." Johnson had Covid-19 in April. He had to be treated in the intensive care unit for three days. In late April, he returned to Downing Street.
The politician is said to have been spotted regularly in public while jogging and is apparently trying to get fit after his illness. Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby (64), apparently allowed him to go jogging on the property of his official London residence, Lambeth Palace. Johnson had also been seen there.
