The Queen has canceled plans to celebrate Christmas at Sandringham House amid concerns about Covid.
Buckingham Palace confirmed does not depend on That Her Majesty is spending Christmas and New Years at Windsor Castle, rather than traveling to her home in Norfolk as usual.
The royal source said that the decision is personal and was taken after careful study and reflects a precautionary method.
The family will visit The Queen in Windsor, reasonable precautions will be taken and all relevant guidelines will be followed.
This is due to an earlier decision to cancel her traditional family dinner before Christmas tomorrow (December 21).
Usually in the presence of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as her cousins Gloucesters and the Duke of Kent and Michaels of Kent, lunch is served at Buckingham Palace before the Queen travels to Sandringham.
This year is the Queen’s first birthday without Prince Philip, who died in April 2021.
Last year, they spent Christmas together at Windsor Castle with the rest of the family.
The move is in line with advice from England’s chief medical officer to limit social exposure during the Christmas season.
At a press conference in Downing Street last week, Chris Whitty said, “Don’t mix with people you don’t have to.”
“I really think people should prioritize those things – and only those things – that really matter to them,” he added.
Monday United kingdom 91,743 new cases of coronavirus were reported, the second highest daily number since the start of the pandemic.
However, the government announced no new restrictions after an unusually long cabinet meeting at noon on Monday, although Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the government had not ruled out further action.
“Unfortunately, I have to tell people that we will still have to be able to take more action to protect the community, protect public health, and protect the NHS,” he said.
“We’re looking at things to keep Omicron in check, and we’re not ruling anything out.
“But now I think we want people to focus on being vigilant – so ventilation and masks in the right places, all the usual hand-washing items, but remember how contagious Ommicron really is.”
