She was then joined by a hotel staff member who helped hold the cart steady as she checked for an update.

When her taxi finally arrived, Natalie unloaded suitcases and bags from the cart and into the car, likely with the assistance of the driver and the hotel staffer.

The brunette beauty made sure to get her pillow and the smaller bags after setting them to the side.

Natalie’s freedom from hotel quarantine comes after she snapped at trolls who criticised her for travelling to the States amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The troll left an ignorant comment about Natalie ‘not protecting herself’ after she shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the White House in Washington, D.C.

She continued: ‘We wipe down everything with alcohol wipes. We use hand sanitiser and wash our hand constantly.’
