    • Earlier this week, on Thursday, Queen Elizabeth left London for her country home in Windsor amid health concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic.
    • The Queen always spends time at Windsor Castle, but moved her trip up a week due to growing concerns about the virus, which has affected a growing number of people around the globe.
    • The monarch wore a low-key travel outfit for the trip, sporting a pale blue, knitted cardigan and a comfy quilted vest. She went bold with her beauty look, however, and a sent a subtle message of strength and confidence with a bold lip.

    Queen Elizabeth is setting an example and practicing self-quarantining.

    The monarch left for Windsor Castle Thursday, beginning her usual time at the country home a week earlier than originally planned in response to the coronavirus health pandemic.

    Even in a time of crisis, however, the Queen is showing strength and fortitude. While most of the monarch's look for the day of travel was low-key—a pale blue, knitted cardigan and a comfy quilted vest—her beauty look was anything buy.
