Queen To Keep Calm & Carry On With Covid

The Queen is planning to hold a telephone audience with the Prime Minister and conduct virtual audiences this week, as she carries on with light duties despite catching Covid.

The 95-year-old monarch, who is experiencing mild cold-like symptoms, is self-isolating at Windsor Castle, where several of her team have been hit by the virus.

Concerns for the nation's longest reigning sovereign have been heightened given her age and a recent health scare.

But Buckingham Palace has said the monarch expects to be at her desk continuing light duties over the coming days.
