No return to Buckingham Palace: Queen Elizabeth decided once morest living in London once more. The British newspaper writes «Sunday Times». Instead, the monarch wants to work more from home in the future, which is why she is said to have made Windsor Castle her official residence. The property is around 35 kilometers outside of the British capital.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Queen Elizabeth has been spending a lot of time at Windsor Castle in Berkshire to shield herself from the virus. Due to the corona restrictions, she was also unable to spend the summer as usual in Balmoral and the winter months in Sandringham.
Accordingly, the residence became an important place for the monarch. Not least because she resided there with Prince Philip until his death in April last year.
The newspaper report also suggests that, as in the recent past, the Queen will continue to hold her weekly audiences with the British Prime Minister only by telephone. Their trips should also be reduced to a minimum due to their limited mobility.
Also a factor in the decision are Prince Edward and Prince Andrew. They also live near Windsor. Prince Charles – who, as heir to the throne, will probably be the next inhabitant of Buckingham Palace – is said to be visiting Windsor Castle regularly.
Buckingham Palace remains the center of the monarchy
Windsor Castle, which has also given its name to the royal family since 1917, had long been used by the Queen mainly as a weekend and holiday residence. 15 years ago she began to spend more time at the castle with almost a thousand years of history in the county of Berkshire.
Despite everything, palace circles say that Buckingham Palace will remain the center of the British monarchy. Her Majesty is said to be returning to Buckingham Palace this year for celebrations such as the celebration of her 70th jubilee and to be “visible” there. Buckingham Palace has not yet officially commented on the information.
