The coronavirus pandemic is shaking up the organization of the British monarchy. At 93, Queen Elizabeth II is fragile in the face of COVID-19. According to information from Daily Mail, the monarch visited Thursday, March 19, at Windsor Castle, where she will remain confined during the Easter holidays with her husband, Prince Philip. The 71-year-old Prince Charles postponed his official trips in accordance with the government's plan of action.

He is third in succession to the throne and in good health like his brother. Coronavirus is unlikely to be a serious threat to him, his wife or children"said the author of Call me Diana: Princess Diana on herself in the columns of Daily Mail.
