According to reports, Queen Elizabeth is unlikely to be seen outside of palace walls for many months.

With several of her engagements canceled, aides are said to be keeping her calendar clear amid the ongoing pandemic, People magazine reports.

Additionally, 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 added, “The Queen continues to be busy and will follow appropriate advice on engagements.”

While she is unlikely to return to Buckingham Palace until things clear up, the Queen will reportedly continue to carry out official duties by phone — including meetings with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

It’s all for the best!
