Queen Elizabeth is absolutely "loving" her new, more relaxed pace of life alongside her husband, Prince Philip, at Windsor Castle. While the coronavirus pandemic has "forced" her to pause her usual royal duties, it seems the monarch has found unexpected joy in this break at her cherished countryside home, according to an exclusive source.
“The queen is a true workaholic. It took some time for her to adjust to this slower rhythm, but now she’s genuinely loving it. In a strange way, she sees this pause as a blessing in disguise,” the insider shares with Closer Weekly. “She’s managed to transform a challenging situation into something positive.”

The insider adds, “Not having to dress up in formal attire every day is a huge relief for her. It’s like she’s finally allowing herself to unwind and enjoy the simpler things in life.”
Elizabeth's Reign and Transition

With the seriousness of the global pandemic, she’s embraced the idea of slowing down and enjoying her well-deserved retirement.
