Royals across Europe have gone into lockdown and are currently working from home, as countries around the globe battle the Coronavirus pandemic, especially after Prince Charles was diagnosed with Coronavirus. Pictures of monarchs in France, Denmark, Belgium, and other European nations have surfaced on the internet, many of which show them practising social distancing as they work from their royal residences. This comes as the COVID-19 has infected over 4,66,759 people and global governments have put entire countries to lockdowns.
