Prinsessan Anne isolerad i jul – maken covidsmittad

Storbritanniens prinsessa Anne har isolerat sig sedan hennes make, sir Timothy Laurence, smittats med covid-19, rapporterar Sky News. Därmed kommer den 71-åriga prinsessan inte att kunna delta i kungafamiljens julfirande.

Det kungliga julfirandet blir annorlunda även på en rad andra sätt. Det blir blir bland annat den första julen som firas utan drottningens make prins Philip som dog tidigare i år. Drottningen har också meddelat att hon på grund av pandemin även i år kommer att tillbringa julen på Windsor Castle och inte på Sandringham som hon annars brukar.
