Here's How The Royal Family Is Getting Affected By Coronavirus

The rising numbers of people getting affected due to Coronavirus is alarming and just like the millions out there already, members of the U.K. royal family are taking extra precautions to minimize their risks of contracting the novel coronavirus.

"As a sensible precaution and for practical reasons in the current circumstances, changes are being made to The Queen's diary commitments in the coming weeks," Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Friday. "In consultation with the Medical Household and Government, Her Majesty's forthcoming visits to Cheshire and Camden will be rescheduled. Audiences will continue as usual. Other events will be reviewed on an ongoing basis in line with the appropriate advice."

The queen was set to visit Cheshire next week, where she was to tour a Bentley Motors Factory to mark its centenary, operate the Lovell Telescope at the Jodrell Bank observatory and meet local schoolchildren engaging in science activities.

She was due to visit the London borough of Camden on March 26.

"Owing to the unfolding situation with the coronavirus pandemic, the British government has asked their royal highnesses to postpone their spring tour," their spokesperson said in a statement.

On Wednesday, Charles attended the annual Prince's Trust Awards, where greeted people with a "Namaste" gesture. On Thursday, he spoke at a charity dinner in aid of the relief and recovery efforts made those affected by the deadly bushfires in Australia.

"I bet everyone's like, 'I've got coronavirus, I'm dying,' and you're like, 'No, you've just got a cough,'" William told an emergency worker during a royal visit with Kate to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, Ireland. "It does seem quite dramatic about coronavirus at the moment."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Prince Harry & Meghan Markle), who moved to Canada late last year, did not bring their 10-month-old son Archie Harrison with them on their trip back to the U.K.

"The decision to leave Archie behind in Canada came not out of petty spite, as reported in some areas, but out of concern for his health during the threat of a global pandemic," The Telegraph's Briony Gordon wrote.

The coronavirus has struck more than 110 countries, including Canada and Meghan's home country of the United States.
