Prince Harry is reportedly feeling quite helpless that he cannot be there for the most vulnerable members of the royal family amid the coronavirus outbreak. He's currently 4,500 miles away in Vancouver while most countries in the world are asking the public to be in self-isolation.
A source told Daily Mail that the Duke of Sussex is isolated "in the middle of nowhere" in the British Columbia region. Prince Harry cannot do anything else since the prime minister of Canada ordered a lockdown to stop the spread of the virus.
The duke is reportedly worried about his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, his grandfather, Prince Philip and his father, Prince Charles. These three royals are most at risks for the COVID-19 virus. As he cannot rush back to London, the duke apparently called his relatives to ensure that they are safe and taking extra precautions.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, is also enforcing some safety measures in their home. According to the report, the Duchess of Sussex is limiting the number of people from their household staff who can interact with them.
It became apparent that Prince Harry and Meghan needed to self-quarantine since they recently flew back from the U.K. Meghan is also apparently asking everyone in their household to wear latex gloves and observe strict hygiene, especially if they are running errands for the Sussexes.
The Sussex pair also took to Instagram to raise awareness and throw support for the rest of those in quarantine in the four corners of the globe. Prince Harry and Meghan said they can build a digital community since being camped at home for a long time might take a toll on everyone's mental health.
They said that while there is social distancing, which most governments have imposed, there doesn't have to be loneliness. So, for their first post in raising the spirit of the community, Prince Harry and Meghan encouraged their followers to share what they feel amid this health crisis.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also added links to resources that deal with mental health, like the Crisis Text Line, Shout UK, and Canada's Kids Help Phone. They reminded the public that they may still volunteer at these organizations while observing social distancing.
Prince Harry canceled many of his upcoming engagements, including his trip back to London for the annual London Marathon. He also decided to postpone his beloved Invictus Games, potentially for the next year, to ensure the safety and health of the participants and spectators.
