The Queen is set to address the nation with a special broadcast about the coronavirus outbreak. The monarch will speak to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in a pre-recorded message from her home at Windsor Castle.
The address from the 93-year-old brings more significance to the current pandemic as it is rare, aside from her annual Christmas broadcast.
The last such message of this kind was during her Diamond Jubilee in 2012. Prior to that she had spoken to the nation after the death of the Queen Mother in 2002, following the death of Princess Diana in 1997 and at the time of the Gulf War in 1991.
