Since the coronavirus pandemic began, life has been completely different for everyone — even the Royal Family. From public appearances to royal tours around the world, many of Queen Elizabeth II‘s plans for 2020 were dashed by the COVID-19 outbreak.
The family was first affected by the virus when Prince Charles, the Queen’s eldest son, tested positive in March. He self-isolated in Scotland and has since recovered.
After that, life drastically changed for the Queen and her family. For starters, the Queen and Prince Philip were whisked away to Windsor Castle to isolate, says royal historian Carolyn Harris. “(They will remain) at Windsor Castle for the foreseeable future, with a small staff who are isolating with them,” Harris said.
