Meanwhile, Prince Charles also made headlines this week after it was revealed that he and his wife, Camilla have already left London amid the coronavirus outbreak. According to Harper’s Bazaar, the royal couple is staying in Balmoral for the time being.

Prince Charles and Camilla, who are both in their 70s are at a higher risk to get infected by the deadly coronavirus. As such, their decision to stay in a remote location could be beneficial for them.

The Queen, on the other hand, has been staying in Windsor Castle with Prince Philip where they are on self-quarantine. Her Majesty’s previously scheduled royal engagements have already been canceled to ensure her safety and security amid the pandemic.
