The Coroan virus does not stop at the walls of Buckingham Palace. And that is why the Queen (93) should, and even must, beware of the corona virus. Because of its age, it belongs to the risk group and is therefore particularly at risk. Fortunately, the Queen has a few alternative options up her sleeve.
Moved to Windsor Castle
According to British media reports, Queen Elizabeth has now fled Buckingham Palace to her Windsor Castle estate due to the current corona threat in London. "She is in great health, but it was thought to be best to get her out of the danger zone. Many of her employees are a little panicky about the corona virus," writes the British daily Mirror, citing a source from the Palaces.
On the one hand, it is nothing special that the Queen likes to change her wallpapers at the weekend. Nevertheless, there seems to be another reason for the move this time. It could soon be too dangerous for the monarch in the London Palace. "Buckingham Palace is in the middle of London and has a lot more employees than its other properties, so it is classified as very dangerous," "Mirror" quotes the source.
That is why an escape is so important
Buckingham Palace actually has around 500 employees. Luckily there are only around 100 people at Windsor Castle. But if this place is too dangerous for the Queen, there would already be a plan B. If the corona virus spreads further in England, the Queen and her husband Prince Philipp (98) are to be quarantined in Sandringham, completely sealed off. There would only be a handful of staff there. This measure is not exactly an exaggeration, because any infection could be fatal, especially for Prince Philip. Already now it is assumed that he will not live long.
