While the monarchies of half the world were already canceling events due to the risk of contagion of the COVI-19, the British Royal Family continued until a few days ago with their institutional commitments almost unaltered and without suspension of agendas. However, Buckingham Palace has taken action on the matter. On the one hand, it has explained the changes in the day to day that the Queen is experiencing in her agenda due to the pandemic that is already seriously affecting the United Kingdom.

"When Felipe and I arrive in Windsor today, we know that many individuals and families across the UK and around the world are entering a phase of great concern and uncertainty. We have all been recommended to change our normal routines and life patterns for the good of the community in which we live and, in particular, to protect the most vulnerable within it, "begins Elizabeth II, making it clear that her husband has joined her at her residence in Windsor Castle, where They will pass Easter. The move of the monarch has been made a week ahead of schedule to preserve her health.
"At times like these, I remember that our nation's history has been forged by individuals and communities coming together to work as one, concentrating our efforts combined with a focus on the common goal. We are enormously grateful for the experience and commitment from our scientists, doctors and emergency and public services. But now more than ever in our recent past we all have a vital role to play as individuals, today and in the days, weeks and months to come. Many of us will need to find new ways to keep in touch with each other and make sure loved ones are safe. I am convinced that we will rise to this challenge. You can be sure that my family and I are ready to play our part “concludes.
In principle, the acts that the Queen has had and has for this week continue as planned. However, future hearings "will be continuously reviewed." These modifications are being carried out "as a precaution and due to the current circumstances," he says from the palace. After consulting the medical service and the Government "public events with a large number of people in which the participation of the Queen or some other member of the Royal Family is planned in the coming months will be canceled or postponed." The same fate will run the religious service of April 9 in the chapel of St. George. Garden parties scheduled for May at Buckingham Palace are also canceled. Guests at these receptions have already been summoned to the 2021 call. Nor will the garden parties of the Not Forgotten Association or the National Trust take place. These modifications also affect the investiture that will be scheduled in the near future.

Meanwhile, the British newspaper The Telegraph published that the castle workers implemented a video call system that allows Elizabeth to communicate with her family, including Prince Charles, who is in Balmoral, and Prince William, who is likely to move alongside his family to Anmer Hall, his home in Norfolk County.
Although Queen Elizabeth and her husband belong to the group most vulnerable to the coronavirus and had to be quarantined, if there had not been a pandemic they would also have moved to Windsor Castle because that is their official residence for Easter and Easter.
Every year, the monarch attends Sunday mass and together with the rest of the family presides over the Royal Maundy, a religious ceremony in which every Holy Thursday distributes alms to a group of retirees, however, everything points to this year not happening thus, it is probable that sanitary measures will continue in force at that time.
