Coronavirus: Prince Charles tests positive but 'remains in good health'

The Prince of Wales has tested positive for coronavirus, Clarence House has announced.

Prince Charles, 71, is displaying mild symptoms "but otherwise remains in good health", a spokesman said, adding that the Duchess of Cornwall, 72, has been tested but does not have the virus.

Charles and Camilla are now self-isolating at Balmoral.

Buckingham Palace said the Queen last saw her son, the heir to the throne, on 12 March, but was "in good health".

The palace added that the Duke of Edinburgh was not present at that meeting, and that the Queen was now "following all the appropriate advice with regard to her welfare".

A Clarence House statement read: "In accordance with government and medical advice, the prince and the duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland.

"The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire, where they met the criteria required for testing.

Goodness only knows how many people he will have been in close contact with recently, although it is encouraging that the Duchess isn't infected 🙂 I hope he is staying well clear of his Mum and Dad! 😱 🙂
 
Forgive the cynic in me, but one thing it demonstrates is that if you are rich you can get tested but if you are a front line medic treating infected patients you can't. There is something fundamentaly wrong there.
 
I am not Royalist by any means, but an ex Royal Correspondent was saying on radio he had been in contact one of the Monaco royals, who tested positive. That when Charles broke his arm number of years ago, and was in pain he insisted in taking his turn being treated.
 
Yes, Prince Albert has it as well. Must have given it to the Prince of Wales then. Hope the Queen doesn't get it. A documentary I watched a while ago said that during the Black Death no rich people died.

Good grief the news from Spain is horrendous. :(
 
Apparently, Isaac Newton did some of his best work whilst isolating from the plague. Hopefully, some of our current physicists can be similarly inspired.
