Queen Elizabeth II may be self-isolating at Windsor Castle, but there's no stopping her from continuing working. Her Majesty's making sure she's updated with what's going on in the United Kingdom during COVID-19 pandemic. She is also keeping herself busy amid the lockdown, feeling she may drop if she stops.
Despite staying at home, Her Royal Highness still has a lot on her plate. She has to do a lot of meetings and paperwork. Majesty magazine editor-in-chief Ingrid Seward said the Queen has no plans to slow down and will continuously be busy.
"She'll be very unused to this, although of course she's been working on her state papers from her red box," she told Sky News, as noted by Mirror Online. If she got extra time, Seward added Queen Elizabeth might also be doing what other people do, like going through drawers or even fixing her photo albums.
"She always says 'if I stop, I drop,'" Seward revealed. The monarch may also be taking daily walks in the grounds of Windsor Castle, along with her two dogs. As a keen photographer, she may be using her old camera to relive her hobby and taking photos.
Also, Queen Elizabeth may be taking video calls on Zoom to catch up with the rest of the royal family. She, too, maybe using this app to talk to her people and other members of the government to know the country's situation and get COVID-19 updates.
According to Express, insiders added that Prince Charles' mom is also spending her time reading newspapers and watching television news to know what's going on. Graham Stone, a gardener and keeper of the royal budgerigars, revealed the leader of the Commonwealth is maybe being kept amused by her "flight of one hundred such birds."
There was even a time that she saved one. When Queen Elizabeth saw a bird tangled in a wire, she told a gardener, who then called a vet to check on it.
Windsor Castle homes 150 people, but only a select few can go near Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, who is also self-isolating with her at the estate. The Duke of Edinburgh broke retirement silence and showed concern for everyone who needed during the time fo crisis across the U.K.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Prince Philip saw that younger people were shopping for older folks today, phone calls were replacing regular visits, and church services could only be seen on TV and online. It also showed the importance of technology, which allows people to continue working, keep in touch with their families, parties, games, and with it, Queen Elizabeth's husband sees the funniest videos he has ever seen in his life.
