A BUCKINGHAM PALACE worker has been diagnosed with coronavirus raising concerns about the health of the Queen. Speaking to the paper a source said: “The Palace has 500 members of staff so, like any workplace, it’s not inconceivable it would be affected in some stage.”. Coronavirus is known to be significantly more lethal amongst patients who are elderly or have pre-existing health conditions.. The number of UK coronavirus deaths surged to 233 on Saturday, with over 5,000 recorded cases.. On Saturday night Boris Johnson warned the NHS faces being “overwhelmed” unless people begin social distancing urgently. He urged Britons not to visit their mothers on Mother’s Day, as this could spread the virus further.. When approached by The Sun Buckingham Palace declined to comment in detail on the coronavirus claim.. A spokesman said: “We wouldn't comment on individual members of staff.. “In line with the appropriate guidance and our own processes, we have taken the necessary actions to protect all employees and people involved. In a message to Britain the Queen urged people to come together and praised the work of healthcare professionals.. She said: “Many of us will need to find new ways of staying in touch with each other and making sure that loved ones are safe.. “I am certain we are up to that challenge.. “You can be assured that my family and I stand ready to play our part. There is speculation the Queen will give an address to the nation at some point during the crisis.. The Queen gave a statement on Thursday but the Mail on Sunday report she will give a full address at the right moment.. Discussions have been held between Number 10 and the Buckingham Palace.. A source explained: “It has been agreed the address will happen at a key moment in the crisis and that it will be a hugely important way to lift the nation's morale. There is no one more experienced than Her Majesty and she will know exactly the right moment to address the country.. “Sadly, there are some very difficult times ahead. The country is going to be hurting. The voice of Her Majesty will provide calm reassurance that, ultimately, we will get through this.”. With the exception of her annual Christmas message, it will be the first time Her Majesty has addressed the nation in this way since the death of her mother Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother in 2002. The Queen, who turns 94 next month, is in Windsor Castle with husband Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.. William’s younger brother Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex has been forced to cancel the Invictus Games as a result of the outbreak.. The games for injured service personnel were scheduled for The Hague in 2020 but have been postponed for 2021. We wouldn’t comment on individual members of staff.. “In line with the appropriate guidance and our own processes, we have taken the necessary actions to protect all employees and people involved.”. The Queen will remain at Windsor for the foreseeable future with husband Prince Philip, 98.. Meanwhile, a new report has revealed that the Palace scrapped the idea of televising The Queen's statement on the coronavirus outbreak because of health concerns.. Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter told podcast HeirPod there were two reasons behind the decision to scrap the idea of a TV address.. She revealed: "There is a real sense that they need to keep the focus and keep the airwaves clear for the experts, for the doctors, for the Prime Minister. Arbiter continued; "This was a way to get the message out there - it could be printed on newspapers, posted on social media, read out on broadcast. It could reach a huge number of people without taking away airtime.. "It is inevitable that at some stage she will address the nation. I hope it is not because things have gotten considerably worse but that we are coming out the other side..
"But I think, that kind of decision would have been made for purely practical reasons and not wanting to overstretch resources. It was also perhaps wanting to limit the number of people around the Queen as well.. "We know that when the Queen gives an address, there are a lot of people involved.. "There is lighting, and sound, and hair and make-up, and producers, and directors, and, at least in the US every, major news station has reported a positive coronavirus case.. "There is an abundance of caution given the Queen's age and that she and Prince Philip are protected. So that impacted the decision-making.
