Now, as the deadly coronavirus sweeps the globe and edges closer to the royal family - Prince Charles was yesterday confirmed as having tested positive for COVID-19 - their unconventional choices may well help them and the public defeat the virus.<\/p>\n
At 94, the Queen has enjoyed what many would consider as a favourable spell of good health.<\/p>\n
Seldom has she cancelled official duties as a result of illness, with her alternative medicine receiving a royal patronage in all but name.<\/p>\n
Her age, however, puts her well in the vulnerable and at risk group, especially from the deadly coronavirus.<\/p>\n
Palace aides have, since the news broke, been thoroughly cross-checking diaries to trace any encounters Charles and the Queen in the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

This included urging everyone to stay at home, with gatherings of more than two people banned.<\/p>\n
Those who can work from home were told to do so, while only essential workers are permitted to travel to their place of work.<\/p>\n
Confusion over certain jobs - construction workers, for example - ensued, with many not knowing whether they qualified as key workers.<\/p>\n
