Prince Philip has been helicoptered from Wood Farm in Sandringham to Windsor to be with the Queen for Easter.
Reports say he’s joined her a week early to match her revised schedule, as she prepares to wait out the coronavirus crisis away from London.
The Queen was today seen leaving Buckingham Palace with her faithful Dorgi on her lap as she left for Windsor Castle a week early than usual to spend time in self-isolation over Easter.
The 93-year-old head of state glanced out of the window next to the corgi-dachshund mix, who is called Candy, as she sat in the back of her official car for the 50-minute journey to Berkshire.
She attended her last engagement in London yesterday, a private audience with two senior officers from the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth.
It came as royal experts suggested Prince William could step in to cover her commitments as part of a coronavirus crisis plan.

Yesterday, the Queen greeted Captain Angus Essenhigh, the new Commanding Officer of the Royal Navy warship HMS Queen Elizabeth, and his predecessor Commodore Steven Moorhouse.
There were no handshakes, just bows from the captain and the commodore, as they met and chatted with the monarch in the private audience room of the Queen’s London home.
