Social distancing, the main prevention measure at Covid-19 now used all over the world, was adopted by the whole Windsor family over the weekend: Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, with Camilla moved to the Birkhall estate, around at Balmoral Castle in Scotland where the queen usually spends her summer holidays. He left the model Highgrove farm near London in Gloucestershire to self-confine himself in the more secluded Scottish moor. In parallel, the Dukes of Cambridge moved from London to Anmer Hall, the country house away from the epicenter of the virus, the capital. While Queen Elizabeth left Buckingham palace and arrived last Friday at Windsor Castle where 98 year old Prince Philip, 99 years old, was already waiting for her on June 10th.
Social distancing Royal
Social distancing in a Royal key and, also, the need to save the representatives of the Firm of Windsor first in line of succession to the throne, in safety. But also because at Buckingham palace there was a case of positiveness at Covid 19 among the employees of the Household (everyone who came into contact was placed in quarantine). And among other things, the queen moved to Windsor with a staff at the minimum terms.
In Windsor
In Windsor, where the sovereign remains in close contact with the number 10 of Downing Street, determined to speak exceptionally to the nation when the most opportune moment is in the coming weeks.The sovereign – who had already expressed her support to those in the United Kingdom days ago they face the health emergency – he normally talks to the nation on Christmas day: the only speech really written in his own hand. The other occasions in which he spoke in front of the camera facing the country were exceptional (as unfortunately promises to be the circumstance of the virus). He spoke to the country after the tragic death of Diana and in 2002 after the death of his mother the Queen Mum who had guided London and the United Kingdom in the difficult years of the Second World War. At that moment it was she, to say neither the king nor I will leave the capital to support the country. But in this case the enemy to beat more subtle, insidious, and has also advised the ninety-year-old sovereign to take shelter in Windsor. From where there will be no lack of support for the country through TV.
