Charles tests positive

LONDON: Prince Charles is isolating after testing positive for coronavirus for the second time.

The prince, 73, met the Queen in Windsor two days before testing positive, according to British media reports. But the 95-year-old monarch is not displaying any symptoms.

Last year, the palace was criticised for a lack of transparency before confirming that the Queen had spent a night in hospital for “preliminary” tests, the nature of which have never been specified.

The Queen, who isolated in Windsor Castle because of her age when the pandemic struck in early 2020, has had recent health problems that forced her to take a step back from official duties.
