Even though she has missed the feel of regularly attending church with her family and friends, Queen Elizabeth II depends on the strength she gets from her faith.

An insider told People that the monarch's "Christian faith means so much to her, and those rituals of going to church on Sunday and praying in the chapel are not happening."

Before she and Phillip went into isolation, [it was] noted that the Queen attended church at Windsor Castle on March 14.

The Queen, who has been isolating at Windsor Castle alongside her husband, Prince Philip, has reportedly been holding onto the bigger picture of her faith that includes "a God who holds her and her family in his hands."

It is that unwavering trust in God that has kept the 94-year-old monarch standing firm in the face of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the Royal website, the Queen's relationship with the Church of England was embodied during the 1953 Coronation in 1953 when the Archbishop of Canterbury anointed her. During that time, she also took an oath to "maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England."

Her Majesty once again showed royal observers her Christian side when she reportedly invited her grandson, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle, to the church in March.

Even when Prince Philip spent a few nights at London's King Edward VII Hospital as an "observation and treatment" concerning a "pre-existing condition," the Queen still found her way to church.

According to BBC News, the 94-year-old attended a carol service at St Mary Magdalene with her third son, Prince Edward, and his family. Before she and Phillip went into isolation, Daily Mail noted that the Queen attended church at Windsor Castle on March 14.

The site added that the monarch was set to return to Buckingham Palace the next day to continue with her duties despite the pandemic.

A source even informed the outlet that the Queen had not abandoned her duties despite reports claiming she had quit Buckingham Palace over novel coronavirus fears.
