La reina Isabel II se retirará al castillo de Windsor una semana antes de lo habitual y contempla posponer una visita de Estado del emperador y la emperatriz de Japón debido a la pandemia de coronavirus, anunció el martes el Palacio de Buckingham.
La monarca británica, de 93 años, que ya había cancelado algunos compromisos públicos, está haciendo más cambios en su agenda a raíz de las nuevas medidas estrictas introducidas por el gobierno británico.
“Su Majestad se trasladará al castillo de Windsor para el período de Pascua el jueves 19 de marzo, una semana antes de lo previsto. Es probable que la reina se quede allí más allá del período de Pascua”, dijo el palacio en un comunicado.

Audiences due to take place this week at Buckingham Palace will go ahead as planned. These include receiving the Prime Minister, the Commanding Officer of HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH and the Bishop of Hereford. Future Audiences will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, in line with the appropriate advice. Her Majesty will move to Windsor Castle for the Easter period on Thursday 19th March, one week earlier than planned. It is likely The Queen will stay there beyond the Easter period. In consultation with the Medical Household and Government, a number of public events with large numbers of people due to have been attended by The Queen, and other Members of the Royal Family, in the coming months will be cancelled or postponed. The annual Maundy Service at St George’s Chapel on 9th April will not go ahead. Three Garden Parties hosted by The Queen, due to be held at Buckingham Palace in May, will now not take place. Guests already invited to these Garden Parties will be asked to attend in 2021. Two additional Garden Parties given for the Not Forgotten Association and the National Trust will also not take place. Investitures will be rearranged to later dates. Further announcements on Trooping the Colour, the 75th anniversary of VE Day and the State Visit by the Emperor and Empress of Japan will be made in due course, in consultation with Government.Una publicación compartida de Windsor Royal Family (@windsor.royal.family) el 17 Mar, 2020 a las 7:14 PDT

Las audiencias planeadas para esta semana, con el primer ministro Boris Johnson entre otros, seguirán adelante, pero las futuras se podrían anular.
Varios grandes eventos públicos a los que la reina y otros miembros de la realeza deberían asistir en los próximos meses también serán pospuestos o cancelados.
Esto incluye una misa anual en la Capilla de San Jorge y cinco fiestas en el jardín real.
“Otros anuncios sobre (…) la visita de Estado del emperador y la emperatriz de Japón se harán a su debido tiempo, en consulta con el gobierno”, anunció la casa real.
La visita de los emperadores de Japón había sido planeada para esta primavera.
