Britain’s Prince Charles is the latest celebrity to have tested positive for the novel coronavirus. The 71-year-old Prince was tested after he had been 'displaying mild symptoms.'
A statement released by the Clarence House on Wednesday morning confirmed that the heir to the British throne had been diagnosed with the COVID-19 disease.
“The Prince has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health, and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual,” the official statement read.
Charles was tested on Monday after qualifying for an NHS test due to age and medical condition criteria in Aberdeenshire. He received the results on Tuesday. It is thought he was tested at Birkhall, his home on the Queen’s Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire.
“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.”
The Prince had reportedly been occupied with a few social engagements in recent weeks. The royal statement also ruled out the possibility of ascertaining 'from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent
weeks.'
