As previously mentioned, Kensington Palace’s post comes shortly after it was reported that Charles, the heir to the British throne, had tested positive for the coronavirus. On Wednesday, Clarence House revealed Charles’ diagnosis and said that he is displaying mild symptoms “but otherwise remains in good health.” A spokesperson for the royal went on to say that the prince has been “working from home throughout the last few days as usual” and that his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, has been tested for the illness but does not have it.
“In accordance with Government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland,” their statement read. “The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing. It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks.”
Following this news, a source told the Evening Standard that Charles is “up and about” and that he is “in good spirits.”
