The Queen is taking extra precautions following the government's advice on self-isolating. The Queen departed from Buckingham Palace yesterday and is currently staying at Windsor castle. However, it seems the Queen isn't just looking after herself as the crisis continues.
Former royal doctor Anna Hemming has given an insight into the caring nature behind-the-scenes towards the palace workers.
Speaking to Hello magazine, the medical professional revealed that measures will be in place to protect them in this time of need.
Anna worked at Buckingham Palace for seven years during her time working as a GP for the royal household.
She told the publication: "I think the royal family will be acting within the guidelines that everyone else in the UK and around the world is working on."
She continued: "They live within a very large establishment and Buckingham Palace is almost run like a big hotel and there are lots of people living within close proximity to each other, for example the housemaids' floor, they live very close together so I am sure that they will be making sure that everyone is fit and healthy.
"Nobody is going to be mixing if they are not well, I am sure that they have an isolation unit set up for the staff, they will be looking after them really well."
On the secrets to the Queen and Philip's good health in their old age, Anna added: "Essentially, they live a fit and healthy lifestyle,
"They have adequate breaks in their work, they have some lovely places they can go and stay.

She was due to leave for Windsor next week but brought the move forward as the coronavirus outbreak appears to be more advanced in London compared to the rest of the country.
Her Majesty officially spoke to Boris Johnson over the phone for her weekly audience this week as part of her social distancing measures.
The Prime Minister and the Queen were due to have a face-to-face meeting.
However, the palace confirmed this did not end up happening in light of recent events.
Windsor is said to be her favourite home to spend the summer and Christmas.
The Monarch spent last night preparing for the move.
So far the Queen has been praised for her attitude towards the outbreak, with many sources previously confirming its "business as usual" for the Queen.
The monarch was conscious to follow government advice and not cause panic for members of the public.
Many were surprised to see her attend the Commonwealth Day service during the outbreak.
The social distancing measures come as the UK's death toll hit 144 yesterday with more than 3,000 confirmed cases.
Schools across the UK will close "until further notice" from Friday with school exams scrapped for this summer.
Boris Johnson said the Government would try to keep the duration of school closures to an "absolute minimum" and intended to "get things going again as fast as we can".
