Windsor Castle, which has also given its name to the royal family since 1917, had long been used by the Queen mainly as a weekend and holiday residence. 15 years ago she began to spend more time at the castle with almost a thousand years of history in the county of Berkshire. About two years ago she moved permanently to Windsor to have more protection against the corona virus. But recently she got infected.
Her husband, Prince Philip, died there in April last year. Elizabeth is said to be doing without some of her staff in Windsor, where she also keeps horses, the Sunday Times reports.
The newspaper report suggests that, as in the recent past, the Queen will continue to hold her weekly audiences with the British Prime Minister only by telephone.
Prince Edward and Prince Andrew live near Windsor, Prince Charles – probably the next resident of Buckingham Palace – is said to visit them regularly at Windsor Castle. Palace circles said Buckingham Palace would remain the center of the British monarchy.
