After the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, face masks have become mandatory in certain countries. In England, wearing a face covering in various indoor places became compulsory at the end of July, most notably shops, supermarkets, places of worship, public areas of hotels, transport hubs and on public transport - to name a few scenarios.
The royals are no exception to the rule and have been pictured adhering to government guidelines throughout the pandemic. The likes of Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hae been wearing face coverings during socially distanced engagements.
England entered its third lockdown in January 2021 and the royals returned to Zoom calls to carry out their duties.
HELLO! has also launched our very own limited-edition face masks designed by Melissa Obadash, available in two colourways including our iconic bold red. All profits from this collaboration will be donated to WellChild, a national charity that counts Prince Harry as its patron and supports seriously ill children and their families. Find out more here.
