The monarch is currently enjoying her annual summer vacation with Prince Philip at her Balmoral estate in Scotland
When Queen Elizabeth ends her summer vacation with Prince Philip at her Balmoral estate in Scotland, the monarch won’t be returning to her official residence at the Buckingham Palace. Instead, the royal couple will be residing at Windsor Castle in the English county of Berkshire—where they have quarantined with a small group of staff since March this year.
The reason is simple: Both the Queen and her husband Philip, who are 94 and 99 years old respectively, are identified to be within the vulnerable and high-risk groups for coronavirus—which is more severe in people older than 60 years old.
