Prince Charles And Camilla Parker-Bowles Go Into Hiding Amid Coronavirus Fears

Seeing how Prince Charles is 72 and Camilla Parker-Bowles is 72, they are not risking their health and safety with the coronavirus outbreak. As a matter of fact, during his public appearances last week, Prince Charles had to remind himself several times not to shake anyone’s hands. Now that the entire world is going on lockdown and practicing social distancing, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall are doing the same. They will be staying indoors for the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace released a statement about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but only after Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Prince William, and Kate Middleton reached out to their social media fans on Instagram. A palace spokesperson told the press that “a sensible precaution and for practical reasons in the current circumstances, a number of changes are being made to The Queen’s diary. Her Majesty will move to Windsor Castle for the Easter period on Thursday 19th March, one week earlier than planned. It is likely The Queen will stay there beyond the Easter period.”

The spokesperson added, “In consultation with the Medical Household and Government, a number of public events with large numbers of people due to having been attended by The Queen, and other members of the Royal Family, in the coming months will be canceled or postponed.”
