Boredom can easily strike kids when is school out, not just in the U.K. but also in most parts of the world amid the coronavirus quarantine. The British Royal Family is offering some solutions for many parents who may have their hands full while working at home and tending to their children.
Every Monday, the official Royal Family social media pages will be releasing downloadable fun activities for children and the whole family to do at home while on quarantine. The first activity was launched this week, which featured worksheets and learning resources about the investiture medal.
The medal is given during investiture ceremonies at Buckingham Palace. It's a tradition born from centuries ago, where the royal family honors notable figures of Britain. According to People, some celebrities who received the investiture medals before included Benedict Cumberbatch, Ed Sheeran, Kate Winslet and Helen Mirren.
Before the Queen left London to stay in Windsor until after Easter, she had an investiture ceremony with Prince Charles. Her majesty was wearing gloves as a safety measure against coronavirus as she shook the hands and pinned the medal to the honorariums.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace assured the British public that Queen Elizabeth remains in good health despite the circumstances. She is apparently doing fine in Windsor amid the positive diagnoses of her son, Prince Charles, her prime minister, Boris Johnson, and a Buckingham Palace staff who served her meals.
Concerns were raised about the health of the Queen since she is 93 years old and vulnerable to the virus. She also attended numerous public events prior to the government's directive to limit movements and observe social distancing. Thus, many royalists believes she has a high risk of contracting the virus.
But last week, the public saw that Queen Elizabeth looks okay after the Palace shared a photo where she's talking to her prime minister. Sources said that Her Majesty is following the doctors' advice to refrain from social contact. Doctors are also on standby at Windsor since she's with another vulnerable individual, her husband Prince Philip.
Prince Philip flew to Windsor from Sandringham on March 19. According to reports, the 98-year-old Duke of Edinburgh has a pre-existing condition. To help the royals around Windsor, only eight people are allowed in the immediate premises. Usually, the castle has over a hundred servants looking after the Queen and Prince Philip but they had to trim this number down since crowds could likely increase the chances of a COVID-19 infection.
