While there is no doubt that the staff behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace are doing all they can to make sure that the palace remains cleaned and sanitized at all times, many royal fans are surprised that Her Majesty had decided to carry out her royal engagements during a very critical time in the world right now.
Thankfully, new reports indicate that Queen Elizabeth has cleared her schedule of any upcoming meetings and public appearances in the coming weeks, as she will retreat to Windsor Castle along with her husband, Prince Philip. In a statement issued on Thursday morning, a palace spokesperson said that Queen Elizabeth has decided to reschedule a state visit of the Emperor and Empress of Japan at a later date.
