The Queen leaves London for Windsor Castle retreat: Faithful Dorgi joins 93-year-old monarch as she heads to royal estate to sit out coronavirus crisis until after Easter
The Queen was today seen leaving Buckingham Palace with a dog 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 attended her last official engagement in London yesterday, a private audience with two senior officers from the Royal Navy warship HMS Queen Elizabeth.
It came as royal experts suggested Prince William could step in for the Queen and Prince Charles as part of a coronavirus crisis plan while Prince Harry could be asked to step in and provide assistance.

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.
