Despite widespread alarm over the US decision to ban all travel from the UK, one high-profile individual is thrilled.

Prince Andrew insists it is very important that nobody goes to the US for a considerable time during and after the coronavirus outbreak.

Lorraine Fisher, 34, an expert in Royal travel affairs, said: “The Duke of York has taken a particular interest in the latest international travel news.

“He thinks it is an excellent idea that nobody should feel compelled to travel to the US.

“Even if they have important reasons to travel, such as legal matters, for example, it’s best to stay at home and remain out of harm’s way.”

The US announced that all travel from the UK would be banned from Monday night.
