A source told the Daily Mail that the couple are requiring “everyone on their team, the people who buy groceries and run errands, to wear latex gloves at all times and are to follow a strict hygiene protocol”.

The insider added: “Only a select few will be able to interact with her, Harry and Archie. She said she’s keeping it to a bare minimum.”

However, despite being in self-isolation, it’s been claimed that Meghan still wants to help others as the pandemic is a “mental health crisis”.

The source said: “She said they are working with a mental health non-profit to create some sort of online support system for those most vulnerable, like new mothers suffering from postpartum depression.”

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the source claimed Harry is worrying about his father, the Prince of Wales, and his grandmother, the Queen.

The source said Meghan told friends that Harry has “been in contact with both his father and grandmother” and he “urged them to stay safe and to take extra precautions”.

The insider also claimed the couple feel “grateful” that “they could spend time with his family before all this insanity began”.
