The Royal Family 'will be talking daily with their medical team' amid the coronavirus pandemic, a former Royal doctor has claimed.
Dr Anna Hemming, from The Cranley Clinic, who spent seven years as resident in-house doctor at Buckingham Palace, has revealed how the virus will be impacting The Firm - including the Queen, 93, and Prince Philip, 98.
'Clearly, members of the Royal Family are in high risk groups - not just over 70 but over 90 years old too,' she said in an interview with Tatler.
'I believe the family will be talking daily with their medical team and taking all reasonable precautions, particularly for the Duke of Edinburgh who we are all aware is the most fragile member of the Royal Family.'

Dr Hemming, who served as a Captain in the Army Medical Corps, went on to say the royals will be following the recommended advice like the rest of the public.
'This includes isolating if they're feeling unwell with a temperature or cough and if someone in the household is unwell too,' she explained.
The former in-house doctor also warned that Her Majesty, who usually attracts huge crowds, should be 'mindful' of how many people gather at any one time.
And added that those who live within the palaces - including the footmen and housekeepers - will have already put precautionary measures in place to self-isolate and prevent any further infection if any of them should develop symptoms.
The Queen assured Brits the Royal Family is ready to 'play its part' in beating the deadly disease in a message released on Thursday
The expert's advice comes hour after the Queen assured the nation that the Royal Family is ready to 'play its part' in beating the deadly disease.
Her message paid tribute to medical practitioners, scientists and the emergency and public services who are fighting the pandemic, and stressed we all have a 'vitally important part to play as individuals.'
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are self-isolating in Canada, as Meghan confides in friends that Harry feels 'helpless' and is 'concerned' about the Queen and his father Prince Charles catching coronavirus, a close friend exclusively told DailyMail.com.
