Queen Elizabeth is unlikely to be seen outside of palace walls for many months, leading some to speculate that she will not step out for an official public duty until the fall at the earliest.
With several of her engagements canceled, aides are said to be keeping her calendar clear amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
A royal source told the U.K. paper The Sunday Times, “The Queen won’t do anything which goes against the advice of people in her [age] category, and she’s going to take all the appropriate advice. There are discussions what we could do and couldn’t do come October.”
A Buckingham Palace spokesman says, “The Queen continues to be busy and will follow appropriate advice on engagements.”
The Queen, 94, will continue to carry out official duties, such as meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson — by phone as she has been doing — reviewing her papers and talking with aides.
But she is unlikely to return to Buckingham Palace from Windsor Castle, where she has remained she since headed there on March 19. Her husband Prince Philip, 98, has been sheltering in place alongside her.
She was last seen in public alongside several members of her family at the Commonwealth Service on March 9. That day was the last public engagement for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as working members of the royal family.
