Queen Elizabeth II is staying at Windsor Castle since last week. She was later joined by her husband, Prince Philip to wait out on United Kingdom's lockdown amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Unfortunately, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are at "high risk" considering that they are turning 94 and 99 respectively in the next few months. So, their move to Berkshire was just suitable for their self-isolation.
Despite the move from Buckingham Palace, though, it was said that the British Monarch will still continue to do her duties and responsibilities as the head of the British Monarchy. Accordingly, communications with officials and the rest of the Royal Family will still be apparent among them.
According to Express UK, a royal source revealed recently that aides are already preparing and researching for the best mode of digital communications to be placed inside Windsor Castle. It was also shared that the setup of equipment will start next week.
While common video call systems today are readily available for the usage of the royals, the source claimed that the communication system that Queen Elizabeth II will use will have "added security measures" to ensure the safety and privacy of the royal's transactions and conversations.
It was also explained that the tools and systems will be similar to what Skype and FaceTime offer to its users. But, since the transactions of the Queen always involve sensitive matters, the aides are, reportedly, finding the best ways to make it all work.
It remains unknown when the monarch will return to Buckingham Palace. Even so, reports today are certain that Queen Elizabeth II will most likely celebrate her 94th birthday on April 21 inside the Windsor Castle, without her family, except for Prince Philip.
In other related reports, Birmingham Mail UK stated that the Queen will give her "rare" national address in the coming weeks. It was noted that this will be the fourth time she will do it before the public.
As revealed, this only happened thrice in the past including her address in 1997 when Princess Diana died and in 2002 when the Queen Mother passed away. While no confirmations have been made yet about the matter, sources from the publication said that "it is a question of when," and not if.
This speculated "rare" address was also assumed to be a televised one, as opposed to the recent statement Queen Elizabeth II released about the COVID-19 outbreak in the country.
