As the royals alter their schedules amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis, it’s now been revealed that the iconic Changing of the Guard ceremony will be postponed until further notice.
Buckingham Palace released a statement Friday: “In line with Government advice to avoid mass gatherings, it has been agreed that the ceremonial of the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, St James’s Palace and Windsor Castle will be postponed until further notice. “Advice will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, with a view to restarting when appropriate.” The news comes after the Queen and Prince Philip headed to Windsor Castle a week earlier than originally planned for the Easter break.
