Queen Elizabeth may not have openly declared her coronavirus status, however, there are growing concern that the British monarch may have contracted the virus.
This has become even more convincing after heir apparent Prince Charles and Prime Minister, Boris Johnson tested positive.
Reports in the United Kingdom claim that royal stewards are already withdrawing from duty after the Queen allegedly infected her personal staff.
Per the UK Sun, a footman in regular contact with the Queen tested positive.
The servant, whose duties included walking the monarch’s dogs, has been sent home and is self-isolating in the hope of fighting off the virus.
“Everyone is terrified, not just for themselves but also for the Queen and the Duke,” an insider told the Sun.
“If everyone around them hasn’t been tested yet they should be and I’m sure they will be. There is a palpable sense of fear in the air at the moment.”
Some Royal Household workers are believed to have been advised to self-isolate as a precaution.
The Queen is now without some close aides as officials act with caution and restrict access to her and Prince Philip.
The footman had worked in his role for several years but was promoted to a role closer to the Queen six months ago.
The UK has about 19,000 confirmed cases with around 1,228 deaths according to BBC.
