Prince Charles has Covid-19
LONDON: Prince Charles, the 71-year-old heir to the British throne, has tested positive for coronavirus but is in good health and is now self-isolating in Scotland.
Charles, eldest son of Queen Elizabeth, is displaying what Clarence House said were mild symptoms but remains in good health and has been working from his home in Scotland. His wife, Camilla, tested negative.
A royal source said the Prince of Wales was tested on Monday and received the results on Tuesday. Charles has spoken to both Queen Elizabeth and his children.
He last saw the 93-year-old monarch on March 12 following an investiture, before the earliest time he would have been infectious. “Her Majesty the Queen remains in good health,” Buckingham Palace said. “The Queen is following all the appropriate advice with regard to her welfare.”
A royal source said the earliest Charles would have been infectious was March 13.
