The Queen and Prince Philip found their summer break in Balmoral 'a bit tedious' this year, with social distancing rules due to coronavirus making it less enjoyable, a royal expert has claimed. An insider told Tominey: 'It was a bit tedious at times – not just for the staff, but the royals themselves. Now ensconced back in Windsor, the Queen is expected to travel to Buckingham Palace for working visits. An aide told the royal expert: 'Buckingham Palace is a working palace and a symbol of working monarchy. The soft power of the Queen is never better demonstrated than when she is meeting foreign leaders and diplomats there.'
