They then flew back to London, and were whisked straight to their Cotswolds mansion.” Once they started feeling ill, “several of their team including drivers, bodyguards and assistants fell ill – a couple of them very badly so. Victoria really panicked and made the whole family quarantine rigidly for more than two weeks. She was utterly petrified they might be super-spreaders, and did all she could to minimize all future risk. Not only was she poorly in bed, she was also completely panicked. It was a rough few weeks.” They are now recovered. (Page Six)
