Queen Elizabeth II .: She retires to Windsor Castle because of Corona

The Royals are also not immune to the corona virus. As a precaution, Queen Elizabeth II (93) is leaving Buckingham Palace until further notice. For the time being, she is moving to Windsor Castle. The British tabloid "Sun" quotes an insider: "The Queen has met a lot of people lately, but it's only a few weeks until her 94th birthday and her advisors think it's best to get her off the firing line to take."

The Queen will be 94 years old on April 21. It is therefore part of the high-risk group of the coronvirus, which is particularly problematic for many older people. However, there is no specific reason for the move of the Queen, it is a mere precaution. "There is no specific concern or positive test, but no one wants to worry about it," said the palace informant. Her husband, Prince Philipp (98), was also driven to Windsor Castle, about 40 kilometers from London. So where and how the Queen's birthday will take place this year is still completely open.
