Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, have cancelled their spring Royal Tour because of coronavirus.
The couple were due to travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus and Jordan.
It is understood both Charles and Camilla are in good health.
However they are both over the age of 70, so according to NHS advice are more vulnerable to the illness than others.
This afternoon a spokesman for Clarence House said: "Owing to the unfolding situation with the Coronavirus pandemic, The British Government has asked Their Royal Highnesses to postpone their spring tour to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus and Jordan."
The Royal Family have been following the government's advice on the deadly disease, with the Queen and Charles avoiding shaking hands at recent engagements.
