I think it's wise that HM is isolating, of course.

But I also think that PW and family, and the younger royals should lay low for a week or two at least.

However, it is good for morale to have the RF visible during this time. They can also be 'active' on social media. Prince Edward and family, and the Cambridge's clapping for the NHS via instagram is a good example.
As far as I know there will be no public appearances since the nation went under a stay at home order. Right now the Court Circular entries mention that meetings are being held over the phone or through video conferencing:  QEII, Charles, William, Edward and Sophie have all had been noted as having one or both types of meetings this week.  :)

The three official household social media accounts: Royal Family (QEII, DoE, Wessexes, PR, Gloucesters and Kents) Clarence House (PoW/DssoC) and Kensington Palace (Cambridges) have all had postings this week especially with the Clap for Carers night.

Sussex Royal and Princess Eugenie's Instagram accounts have also been busy. Only the DoY's account is more or less muted.

Looking forward to seeing what they come up with, and I'm sure it will be wonderful. I'm happy it won't be cancelled, but we knew all those soldiers and musicians couldn't march side by side in the current circumstances. Perhaps it will be over by then; at least we can hope. So, it looks like perhaps the racing will be cancelled....

A most inspirational gesture from the Monarch. Children express their feelings so well through creative expression, and this is a time when they really need to express them. Of course, that's just one of several positives about this project.

This is a surprise; I was hoping that it is far enough away to be allowed to go forward. I suppose they need to be sure and want to let the competitors know well ahead of time for their planning and training schedules. So sad! We'll never forget this year.

The BRF thanking the members of the Armed Forces for transforming a former business convention center into the temporary Nightingale hospital. Built in two weeks, it will become what is currently the world's largest critical care department. It will have 4,000 beds and  house critical care patients from London and the southern part of the country.

Coronavirus: How London's NHS Nightingale Hospital was built in a fortnight | UK News | Sky News

Royal praise for soldiers helping build London?s Nightingale Hospital ? Royal Central

QuoteThe Royal Family has expressed its thanks to those involved in turning the Excel Centre in London into a new hospital to treat patients with coronavirus. And the Duke of Gloucester led praise for the Armed Forces involved in setting up the NHS Nightingale Hospital which was been created in just a few weeks.

The Duke, who is Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Anglian Regiment, spoke of his pride in their role setting up the new hospital. In a statement, he said ? In these challenging times, I am enormously proud of the Royal Anglian?s role in helping to build Nightingale London. It?s is a testament to the Royal Anglian Regiment?s dedication, teamwork and professionalism. Their commitment will make a huge difference to lives up and down the country?.

The regiment has been working alongside the NHS, contractors and the Ministry of Defence to help complete the hospital which will open later this week, initially for up to 500 patients. At full capacity, the Nightingale would hold 4,000 beds.

There was further royal praise for the work that has helped create a massive hospital in less than a fortnight. On the official Royal Family Twitter and Instagram, there were words of thanks for all those involved. One tweet read ? Thank you to all those working hard to complete @NightingaleLDN Hospital, which will open this week to support patients with coronavirus?.

On Wednesday, the Prince of Wales also showed his appreciation for the work of medical staff as well as those working to keep food supplies going around the country. In a recorded message, shared on social media, Prince Charles spoke of his admiration for their work and asked everyone to show them the support they need and deserve.

I was waiting for a Windsor leak to open the thread, previously noted by official royal family tweet in the Queen's engagement thread.

Quote
The Queen will issue a rallying cry to the nation on Sunday. In her first televised address on the coronavirus crisis, she is expected to say: ?We are in this together ? and we will all get through it together, too?. It is only the fifth time the 93-year-old monarch has made a broadcast outside of Christmas . She recorded the message at Windsor Castle, where she is living in isolation with her 98-year-old husband Philip. The four other times the Queen has made a special address were for the Gulf War, the death of Princess Diana, the death of the Queen Mother and her diamond jubilee. Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the content in advance of the broadcast, but the Mail understands the Queen will emphasise togetherness, highlighting the nation?s cohesion in the face of adversity. She is also likely to praise health workers and all those who have been helping in the fight against Covid-19. It comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he is 'feeling better' after suffering from coronavirus but will remain in self-isolation until his temperature drops. Meanwhile the Department of Health confirmed 684 more people have died in hospital after testing positive for the virus, bringing the total UK deaths to 3,605.

It wil probably take months, to find something.  and it would be great if theyd concentrate on getting more masks for people etc..  but Its not the queen's fault

@PrincessOfPeace -That is good news. I really believe that as the current HoS for those Commonwealth nations that are constitutional monarchies (Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc..) that they should be hearing from her as well as this pandemic affects nearly every nation on the planet.

The message is being broadcast to the nation and to the Commonwealth. :happy:

QuoteOn Sunday 5th April at 8pm (BST)
Her Majesty The Queen will address the UK and the Commonwealth in a televised broadcast.

As well as on television and radio, The Queen?s address will be shown on The @royalfamily

I have to wonder if HM is remembering this speech from 1939 when her father addressed the UK when the nation entered WWII.
