The Queen and her family will ditch remote working and get out to support the nation ‘as soon as it is safe to do so’, a royal expert has revealed.

The Queen, 93, and Prince Charles, 71, as well as Prince William, 37, and Kate Middleton, 38, have been working from homes for several weeks amid the on-going coronavirus crisis. 

Speaking to Australian website 9Honey, royal expert Katie Nicholl said the change was not going to permanent and that members of The Firm would be ‘hands-on’ as soon as it is safe for them to do so.

She said: ‘[When this is all over] people will want to see the monarch and she will be out promoting Britain, showing unity and supporting the nation in person, as soon as it’s safe for her to do so and I think that’s the same for all of the royals.’

Royal expert Katie Nicholl told Australian website 9Honey that members of the royal family would be out and about ‘as soon as it is safe’ for them to do so (pictured, Kate Middleton, 38, and Prince William, 37) phoning Casterton Primary School in Burmley last week) 

Katie explained that she believed the role of the monarchy would be re-affirmed after the pandemic.

She said: ‘The Queen has always said she needs to be seen to be believed and I think that will never be more relevant than when this is all over.’

And while the public should get used to seeing the royals virtually for the next few months, Katie insisted it wouldn’t become the norm. 

She said: ‘We’re not going to have remote royals, we’re going to have hands-on royals meeting the public, we’ll have garden parties again.’ 

The royal expert revealed how members of The Firm would ditch remote working for ‘hands-on’ work ‘meeting the public’ 

All working members of the royal family have adjusted to working remotely and attending engagements virtually amid the on-going crisis.

Prince William and Kate have taken part in several phone and video calls with various organisations from their Norfolk home of Anmer Hall.

Footage was released at the weekend of the Duke calling various grassroots charities to discuss the challenges they are facing and how the emergency funding is helping them to support their communities.

And last week, he was joined by Kate as they spoke to staff and youngsters from Casterton Primary Academy in Lancashire, where teachers are helping to look after the children of key workers in frontline services including the NHS and social care, as well as supermarkets and delivery drivers. 

Members of the royal family have adjusted to working from home amid the ongoing pandemic and attending events virtually (pictured, Prince Charles opening the Nightingale Hospital in London from his home in Aberdeenshire) 

Meanwhile Prince Charles virtually opened the new Nightingale hospital for intensive care patients earlier this month.

The royal told how he was ‘enormously touched’ to have been asked to launch the 4,000-bed temporary facility at the ExCel convention centre in East London via video-link from his Scottish home at Birkhall. 

And the Queen has also undertaken engagements over the phone from her lockdown at Windsor Castle.

Photos released last month showed the Queen calling for her weekly audience with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
